Capital continues to flow into commercial real estate despite elevated interest rates and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

The FOMC held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, although three officials voted in favor of a rate hike, underscoring continued concerns about inflation and the evolving economic outlook.

Across New York City, investment sales increased 37% year-over-year to $17.38 billion in the first half of 2026 as borrowers adapted to today's rate environment, sellers adjusted pricing expectations, and lenders remained active across the market.

As Matt Swerdlow, Senior Director in our Capital Services Group, notes, capital remains widely available, with Ariel Property Advisors securing financing from 21 different lenders across its 25 most recent closings, highlighting the depth and competitiveness of today's lending market.

Our latest Capital Markets Monthly also explores recent financing activity, construction lending trends, and the continued momentum in commercial real estate financing.
