The \u2018extend and pretend\u2019 approach to financing that we\u2019ve seen historically in past downturns won\u2019t work in the current high interest rate environment, which will put pressure on owners and lenders to be more proactive,\u201d Menifee said.<\/p>\n<p>Several CRE experts said they don\u2019t expect to see many lenders taking over distressed properties.<\/p>\n<p>Terri Adler, managing partner of <strong>Duval &amp; Stachenfeld<\/strong> LLP, a New York-based real estate law firm, said a traditional bank lender will be less inclined to step into an asset that it\u2019s not going to be able to run any better than the current owner.

Her analysis indicates overall CRE prices may come down by about 20 percent, with variances depending on the property type and other potential economic scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Bitner was a little less optimistic noting that as long as there is hope for asset owners that if they wait, rates will decline and values reflate, then buyers and sellers will remain at something of an impasse.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More rate hikes expected<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On a positive note, warnings of additional rate hikes gave the CRE industry time to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe worst thing you want to be in a downturn, even if it\u2019s a short downturn, is to be in a position where you\u2019re a forced seller, a forced refinancer or where you have a lease break or rollover that you suddenly have to renegotiate in the middle of a recession,\u201d said Reeves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004632868\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/11\/Xander-Snyder_First-American.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004632868\" data-attachment-id=\"1004632868\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/how-a-looming-recession-impacts-cre-deals\/xander-snyder_first-american\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2022\/11\/Xander-Snyder_First-American.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"446,446\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Xander Snyder_First American\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Xander Snyder, Senior Real Estate Economist, First American Financial Corp.

In March, the Fed raised its federal funds benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a range of 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent. It was the first time since 2018 that the Fed had increased rates. As inflation grew, the Fed raised the rates by 75 basis points each in June, July, September and November. With the November increase, the Fed\u2019s benchmark rate is in the range of 3.75 percent to 4 percent. Inflation is cooling a bit with the latest Commercial Property Index up 7.7 percent year-over-year in October. The Fed\u2019s goal is to get inflation to the 2 percent range, which is expected to take at least 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn increase of 50 basis points in December and 25 basis points in January still seems the most likely outcome. If November inflation is lower than expected, that outcome could adjust into 25 and 25 basis points, respectively,\u201d said Bitner.<\/p>\n<p>Chandan said his current outlook has a peak Fed funds target of 5 to 5.25 percent but expects rates to decline once inflationary pressures begin to subside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA 5 percent Fed funds target could be the appropriate rate when inflation is at 5 or 6 or 7 percent. It will not be the appropriate rate when inflation has been tamed and returns to levels closer to 2 percent,\u201d Chandan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transactions are down as investors grapple with higher debt costs and increasing uncertainty.
