The number of properties traded reached 4,820, representing a 10 percent increase from 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skorupski noted the Bay Area\u2019s 2025 surge in office investment, driven by leasing from AI companies. She added that improvements in office leasing fundamentals nationwide are fostering cautious optimism for a sustained recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInvestors are identifying opportunities through distressed sales, acquiring properties at a discount, and subsequently making capital improvements to attract new tenants. In multiple markets, buildings are being traded in anticipation of redevelopment, as non-competitive properties are earmarked for conversion to alternative uses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-bet-against-the-us-consumer\">Don\u2019t bet against the US consumer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Morningstar\u2019s overall 2026 credit outlook for office is negative, the company rates retail as stable. That\u2019s despite an average value decline of 54.8 percent, nearly equal to that of the office sector, with about $18 billion in retail loans scheduled to mature in 2026. Still, Morningstar describes the retail sector as \u201cpockets of stress related to oversupply and\/or obsolescence in some markets and asset classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though one of retail\u2019s saving graces is limited new supply, Morningstar noted \u201cmixed sentiment around the health of the consumer, with some observers stating that lower interest rates and inflation could strengthen consumer purchasing power in 2026. However, it is still unclear what will happen if, in 2026, unemployment continues to trend upward and tariffs affect the cost of goods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/01\/Scott-Aiese.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"620\" data-attachment-id=\"1004784940\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/100b-in-cmbs-loans-mature-this-year-what-lies-ahead\/scott-aiese\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/01\/Scott-Aiese.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" 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=\"Scott Aiese\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Scott received via e-mail&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Scott Aiese, senior managing director, JLL Capital Markets.

Years of structural adjustment have fundamentally reset retail\u2019s supply-and-demand dynamics, positioning the sector far more defensively than many investors once expected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that new construction has slowed dramatically, vacancies are at historic lows and tenant demand continues to expand, particularly for well-located urban and neighborhood retail. These conditions are supporting rent growth and attracting institutional capital that had largely stepped away from the sector over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/high-street-retail-regains-traction-in-the-new-downtown\/\">High-Street Retail Regains Traction in the \u2018New\u2019 Downtown<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom a capital markets perspective,\u201d Aiese commented, \u201cthis is translating into more attractive financing conditions, as lenders are showing increased appetite, cap rates have converged with other asset classes and transaction activity is accelerating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For her part, Nicole Larson, manager, National Retail Research | U.S. at Colliers, is similarly optimistic about the retail sector, predicting that \u201camid a period of modest global growth, stabilizing inflation, and income gains, the retail sector is poised to deliver the most substantial total returns worldwide between 2025 and 2029. Retail stands out for its combination of steady yields, resilient income performance, and more balanced valuations following several years of adjustment.
