Yahoo! Finance: The hotel sector benefits from 'muted' supply
Peachtree CEO Greg Friedman recently shared insights on the market with Madison Mills of the Yahoo Finance show Catalysts.
2022년 이전에 대출자들은 거의 0에 가까운 금리로 대출을 확보할 수 있는 기회를 10년 이상 누렸으며, 이는 상업용 부동산 시장의 성장과 확장을 촉진했습니다.오늘날, 은행들이 상업용 부동산에 대한 노출을 줄임으로써 훨씬 높은 이자율 환경에서 전례 없는 규모의 대출이 만기되고 있습니다.이러한 상황에도 불구하고 대출 수요는 계속 증가하고 있습니다.
역사적으로 볼 때 금리 인상으로 대출 수요가 급증했다면 신용 위기가 다가오고 있다는 경고 신호였습니다.하지만 최근 경제지표에서는 이러한 패턴에서 벗어난 것으로 보입니다. 은행들은 까다로운 대출 기준을 유지하고 있음에도 불구하고 대출 활동이 증가했다고 보고하고 있습니다.이러한 변칙 현상은 인플레이션 완화와 맞물려 기존의 경기 침체 지표에 도전장을 던지고 있습니다.일부 분석가들은 “지금은 다르다”고 조심스레 시사하지만, 경제 불확실성이 지속되고 있어 근본적인 시장 동력에 대한 흥미로운 의문이 제기되고 있습니다.
불확실성이 여전하지만 한 가지 분명한 사실은 상업용 부동산 부문이 중추적인 시점에 직면해 있다는 것입니다.우리는 전례 없는 힘으로 형성된 시장에서 위험과 기회의 균형을 맞추면서 변화하는 환경을 주의 깊게 헤쳐나가고 있습니다.

Yahoo – Catalysts - The commercial real estate market (CRE) has struggled amid a prolonged high-interest-rate environment, but hotels have continued to outperform as demand surpasses supply. Peachtree Group CEO Greg Friedman joined Catalysts to discuss the market outlook.
Friedman explained that the pandemic "muted" new supply growth, and as demand has picked up with limited new construction, he believes the hotel industry is benefiting from supply being constrained. He points out supply in the hotel sector is growing at a 40% reduction, while demand remains resilient.
Friedman notes that "from an investment perspective," hotel assets trade at higher cap rates. With rates expected to remain elevated, Friedman states, "there's less negative leverage," making the sector increasingly attractive.
Regarding office spaces, Friedman sees potential for recovery. "I think we're heading towards a bottoming across the office sector," he said, pointing to rising vacant spaces being repurposed and transformed for new uses. "I think we're heading towards it being more investable," he added.

Peachtree Group's Market Update w/ Greg Friedman & Mark Zandi
Mark Zandi, Chief Econmist at Moody's Analytics joined Greg Friedman, Managing Principal and CEO of Peachtree Group for a 4th Quarter Market Update.
As we move into 2025, Peachtree Group remains optimistic about the U.S. economy. While risks persist—from policy shifts to stretched markets—the underlying fundamentals are strong. This sentiment was echoed by our recent guest speaker, Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, who shared his insights on the economy’s resilience and the challenges ahead, particularly for commercial real estate.
Economic Highlights and Key Insights
Mark emphasized the exceptional performance of the U.S. economy, with GDP growth expected to range between 2.5% and 3%, driven by increased labor participation and productivity gains. The labor market remains strong, with unemployment hovering around 4%, and households—especially those in the top income tiers—benefit from strong asset values and low debt-service ratios. However, he noted the pressures on lower-income households, who are feeling the strain of inflation and high-interest debt. This contrast contributes to a gap between strong economic data and public sentiment.
Risks and Projections for 2025
He outlined several key risks that may shape the economic landscape in 2025:
- Tariffs and Immigration Policies: Anticipated increases in tariffs and stricter immigration rules could amplify inflation and disrupt labor markets, especially in industries like construction and agriculture.
- Asset Market Volatility: Stretched valuations and policy-driven fiscal deficits could heighten market instability.
- Interest Rate Outlook: The federal funds rate is projected to decline to 4% by early 2025, with a further reduction to 3% by 2026. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield, a key benchmark for CRE valuations, is expected to remain flat, between 4% and 4.5%.
Commercial Real Estate and Private Credit
Mark highlighted the explosive growth over the past decade on private credit, now standing at eight times its 2010 size. While recognizing the risks of this rapid expansion, he noted that stabilizing economic fundamentals is a significant mitigating factor.
He also addressed the current state of CRE valuations, acknowledging a significant correction since 2022. Asset prices are down 10–20% from their peaks, depending on asset type, but he expressed cautious optimism for future returns as valuations in many segments approach fair value. Challenges remain, however, as muted transaction volumes and uncertainty around intrinsic values make price discovery difficult in a higher interest rate environment. However, he concluded by emphasizing that CRE, having undergone a meaningful correction, is uniquely positioned for potentially stronger returns.
