Cushman & Wakefield plc has unveiled its Midpoint 2025 Outlook, providing an in-depth analysis of the U.S. economy and commercial real estate markets as they adapt to a post-inflationary environment. Despite challenges such as higher tariffs and policy uncertainty, the report anticipates resilience in property markets, with expectations for increased momentum by 2026 amid stronger growth conditions. Rebecca Rockey, the company's Deputy Chief Economist, highlighted the sector's solid footing at the start of 2025 and noted that capital is re-entering the property market, with leasing fundamentals maintaining stability. Key insights include improving net absorption in office spaces, driven by demand for newer, highly amenitized buildings, and a narrowing pricing gap in capital markets. The report also emphasizes ongoing demand in the housing market due to affordability pressures and demographic trends, particularly in undersupplied urban areas. Institutional investors are cautiously returning, attracted by favorable yield spreads and structural housing shortages.
