SitusAMC’s latest quarterly report, titled Fog on the Tracks, shows commercial real estate investors pulling back on activity amid ongoing economic uncertainty and volatility in public markets. However, the report says, “certain indicators point toward green shoots on the track.”

Furthermore, SitusAMC reports that investor sentiment toward CRE improved in the first quarter as the asset class was increasingly viewed as a safe haven following early April policy announcements and equity market chaos. Multifamily in particular registered the strongest sentiment in more than a decade.

“The quarter’s findings illustrate a CRE market in flux,” said Peter Muoio, head of SitusAMC Insights, who co-authored the report with VP Jen Rasmussen. “Investors are prioritizing resilience and stability as they navigate an uncertain market environment. Apartments stand out as a favored asset class thanks to limited supply and sustained demand. Meanwhile, office continues to struggle, though early signs of stabilization are appearing in some sectors.”
