\"\"<\/a>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>\u2019s most recent<\/a> monthly poll asked readers about their assessments of the Federal Reserve\u2019s policies, following 11 interest rate hikes that saw the funds rate climb by more than 500 basis points in an 18-month span. The current funds rate sits at 5.25 to 5.54 percent.<\/p>\n

Despite their success in reducing inflation to 3.2 percent, the Fed\u2019s policies have had deleterious impacts on commercial real estate finance, investment and development, plunging transaction volumes and spiking capital costs, with the office sector<\/a> taking a particularly bad hit.<\/p>\n

Still, respondents did not deny the policies\u2019 efficacy regarding the Fed\u2019s stated goals of reducing inflation<\/a>. Nearly two-thirds of respondents, 64 percent, stated that the Fed\u2019s actions have been successful, but that they should be wary of raising rates further<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Such a response reflects a widespread industry sentiment around the Fed\u2019s policies, with many experts previously telling CPE <\/em>that the only way for lending to stabilize and for transaction volumes to increase is for there to be some \u201cstability\u201d in the Fed’s messaging and actions. In turn, another rate hike, one that could happen as soon as this month, would add to many of the aforementioned difficulties.<\/p>\n

The remaining 36 percent of respondents stated that the Fed\u2019s policies have been unsuccessful, with one camp saying that their overall policy of monthly raises and pauses has been inconsistent, and another saying that rates will remain higher for longer. To some extent, this may be out of the Fed\u2019s control, given latent political struggles, geopolitical tensions and larger uncertainties around economic performance, particularly with regard to inflation itself. Simply put, there is too much out of the Fed\u2019s control for one individual decision around the funds rate to make an impact.<\/p>\n
