Pittsburgh Chapter September Meeting!
- A selective commercial real estate recovery is underway. Deal activity, market confidence and transaction pipelines are improving, although recovery remains uneven across regions and property types.
- Capital is returning, but underwriting remains disciplined. Lenders and investors continue to prioritize quality assets, strong fundamentals and well-structured opportunities. Interest rates and pricing expectations remain important factors.
- Investors are preparing for growth. Industrial continues to lead demand, multifamily remains a favored sector and retail is gaining momentum. Interest in opportunistic investments is also increasing.
- Artificial intelligence is becoming part of CRE strategy. Professionals are using AI and data tools for lead generation, underwriting, market analysis, business development and faster deal sourcing.
- Relationships continue to drive business. Technology can help identify opportunities, but trust, referrals, networking and consistent client outreach remain essential for winning assignments and closing transactions.
- The market is shifting from defense to selective offense. Firms that combine reliable market intelligence, disciplined investment decisions, effective technology and strong relationships will be best positioned for the next cycle.
The findings reflect feedback from more than 18,000 commercial real estate professionals surveyed between September 2025 and August 2026.
