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.
本周早些时候的消费者价格指数报告显示，在PPI高于预期之后，美国的通货膨胀压力今年首次减轻。这可能表明美联储为缓解消费者价格压力所做的持续努力已开始取得成果。但是，我们仍远未达到2％，但也许美联储已经看到通货膨胀率终于走向下行了。在我看来，美联储需要进一步的数据来增强考虑降息所需的信心。
当今的长期高利率正在抑制经济活动，并面临衰退的风险。对于商业房地产行业来说，时间至关重要，因为我们已经处于衰退之中，我对今年降息的前景视而不见。
这种持续的通货膨胀严重挑战了商业房地产行业，尤其是在数万亿美元的债务到期的情况下。通货膨胀率上升增加了借贷成本，使现金流紧张并影响了房地产估值。
随着债务的到期，财产所有者将面临以明显更高的利率进行再融资，这导致偿债成本增加和盈利能力降低。这种现金流压力，加上更高的支出和更低的收入，造成了恶性循环。随着借贷成本的上升，房地产估值下降，投资者要求更高的回报，从而疲软了市场。这种螺旋式下降加剧了财务限制，有可能导致违约和市场不稳定，这种情况需要立即关注。
美联储能否在不引发新的经济挑战的情况下使我们在更大规模的崩溃之前摆脱这种螺旋式循环？
前进的道路可能需要根据经济数据进行货币政策调整，可能还需要采取更有针对性的财政干预措施来支持脆弱部门。
无论市场走向何方，我都对未来的机遇充满热情，我们的团队已经做好了应对挑战的充分准备。

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.
