Capital Returns as 2025 Signals a Market Reset
By Patrick McGlohn, senior managing director, Berkadia After two years of caution and recalibration, capital is flowing back into commercial real estate. The bid-ask gap between buyers and sellers is narrowing, underwriting assumptions are stabilizing and both equity and debt investors are once again finding common ground.

Nearly $950 billion in commercial mortgages matured in 2025 — roughly 20 percent of all outstanding commercial …
