Real Estate Roundtable’s Q3 Sentiment Index Highlights Increased Confidence
The Real Estate Roundtable said Thursday its Real Estate Roundtable’s Q3 2025 Sentiment Index reflects increased confidence among commercial real estate executives as market conditions stabilize and sector-led growth emerges. The third-quarter index posted an overall score of 67, a 13-point increase from the previous quarter, with significant increases in both the Current (63) and Future (71) indices.
RER president and CEO Jeffrey DeBoer said, “Our Q3 Sentiment Index results show that market conditions have continued to stabilize in a meaningful way, supported by improved supply and demand. Commercial real estate executives are increasingly optimistic that the next 12 months will bring continued improvement. That said, certain property types continue to face headwinds, and capital access remains uneven across markets and sectors. Even so, the prevailing sentiment is that stability is returning and opportunities are emerging.”
Even as challenges remain, industry leaders see meaningful opportunities ahead, particularly in multifamily, data centers, and select office markets.
DeBoer added, “The provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act should help accelerate this momentum— expanding housing supply, revitalizing communities, spurring job-creating investment nationwide, and strengthening the broader economy. Coupled with improving debt capital availability and stabilizing asset values, these policies set the stage for renewed growth.
“Moving forward, industry leaders and policymakers must continue to work together to promote investment, ensure credit access and address persistent supply-demand imbalances in housing and other high-need property sectors.”
The Real Estate Roundtable’s Jeffrey DeBoer will deliver the keynote presentation at Connect Apartments 2025, taking place on Sept. 11 in Los Angeles at the Fairmont Century Plaza. Register here for this nationwide in-person event.
