But clearly the rising inflation rate, with the Consumer Price Index increasing by 6.8 percent over last year, pushed Fed officials to end it sooner than planned. The first quarter-point interest rate hike is likely to come in late winter or early spring.<\/p>\n<p>Severino said the Fed will be looking closely at the month-to-month changes in inflation in early 2022, rather than focusing on a year-over-year change since inflation did not begin to kick in this year until the second quarter. While the Fed could hold off for a bit, Severino expects they will go ahead with three interest rate increases by the end of 2022. He said they made the announcement now to get the markets and borrowers ready for it.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/inflation-fears-and-commercial-real-estate\/\">Inflation Fears and Commercial Real Estate<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>\u201cThey are doing it in an orderly fashion, which is good for the market,\u201d agreed Shlomi Ronen, managing principal at Los Angeles-based Dekel Capital. \u201cIt gives people time to adjust to the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004228678\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004228678\" data-attachment-id=\"1004228678\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/how-does-labor-shortage-impact-cre\/ryan-severino-jll\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;13&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1487192736&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ryan Severino, JLL\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Ryan Severino, JLL\u2019s chief economist &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Ryan Severino, JLL\u2019s chief economist &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg?w=800\" class=\"wp-image-1004228678 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Ryan Severino, JLL\u2019s chief economist\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2018\/05\/Ryan-Severino-JLL.jpg?resize=768,595 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004228678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Severino, Chief Economist, JLL.

He said that in areas where rents are climbing well north of 10 percent annually, particularly in many industrial and multifamily markets, modest interest rates will have little to no impact on development activity. Behring also noted smaller projects, which require shorter-term loans, would also be less impacted than larger developments, which have longer construction timelines.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cap Rate Concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hipp said there is usually a lag between rising interest rates and rising cap rates.
