Fed Approves First Rate Cut of 2025

Keeping an eye on economic impacts to the commercial real estate market, Cromwell Brokers are encouraged by the momentum shift seen this week with the first federal interest rate cut of 2025 and the anticipation of more cuts to come before the end of the year.

In response to the recent decision, Cromwell Partner Clay Fuller expressed, "The recent fed rate cut signals a potential inflection point for our market. After nearly two years of murky wait and see mentality, lower rates could provide the clarity and confidence needed to unlock and restart investment sales momentum."

Typical CRE impacts of rate cuts include reduced borrowing cost, improvement of cash flow for property owners with variable-rate debt, the encouragement of more transaction activity, and higher valuations lifting property values and cap rates.

With rate cuts being considered as one of the bigger indicators of market viability, we anticipate attractive investment and growth conditions for Cromwell clients.
