Investors Bring Bullish Outlook to U.S. CRE for 2025
Investors are poised to inject more capital into U.S. commercial real estate in 2025, driven by favorable pricing and despite the challenges posed by interest rate fluctuations, according to CBRE’s 2025 U.S. Investor Intentions Survey. Dallas maintains its position as the most preferred market for investment for the fourth consecutive year, with Miami ranking second, while multifamily is the preferred asset class by a wide margin.
Covering all asset types, the survey underscores investors’ optimism about the continued recovery of real estate market fundamentals, with 70% planning to acquire more assets in 2025 than in 2024. Investors are broadly positive about the overall market and even more bullish about their own plans, with 75% anticipating a rebound in their own investment activity by the first half of the year and more than half already experiencing recovery.
“Interestingly, investors are more optimistic about their own prospects compared with the broader market outlook, viewing the ongoing reset in pricing as a key opportunity to secure a first-mover advantage as the recovery gains momentum,” said Kevin Aussef, Americas president of investment properties for CBRE.
