Bloomberg TV - Greg Friedman, CEO of Peachtree Group, discussed the potential impact of the Fed's expected 25 basis point rate cut on commercial real estate. He noted that the 10-year treasury rate, currently at 4%, is already high, impacting commercial real estate values. Friedman expects the terminal rate to be around 2.75%, supporting the 10-year rate. He highlighted the stress from maturing loans, with $1 trillion due in the next year, and the opportunity for investors. Friedman also mentioned the thin risk premium spreads in commercial real estate, with multifamily assets trading at 5% cap rates. He emphasized the importance of credit investments over equity due to better risk-adjusted returns and the continued relevance of clean energy financing in commercial real estate.
