August 2025 Commercial Real Estate Market Insights

“In July 2025, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 4.5% for the fifth consecutive meeting, holding steady after last year’s cuts. Inflation was virtually unchanged at 2.7%, remaining above the Fed’s 2% goal. Job growth weakened, with payrolls up just 73,000 after sharp downward revisions in May and June, while unemployment edged up to 4.2%. The economy, however, showed some resilience, with GDP rebounding 3% in Q2, driven by stronger consumer spending and lower imports. With the labor market cooling, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to cut the rates as soon as September, eventually easing borrowing costs in the commercial real estate market.”
