Settlement Answers

Does the requirement to use a written agreement before showings apply to commercial transactions?

No. The settlement and the practice changes it requires are focused on residential transactions, not commercial transactions or leases. And if a commercial broker who is a REALTOR® has access to an MLS, but is showing a property on CIE or another platform that is not associated with an MLS, the requirement to use a written agreement does not apply for that property.

CBRE: Deal volume expected to stabilize Commercial real estate deal volume was about 60% below the 2022 peak in the first quarter, but the current situation differs in significant ways from the Global Financial Crisis, according to CBRE. It noted that the low levels of transactions are due to elevated interest rates and economic uncertainty, while fundamentals are close to historical norms. "We expect deal volume will stabilize further now that the worst of inflation is behind us, and the Fed appears to be done hiking rates," CBRE said. Full Story: Commercial Property Executive (7/5)

Concerns grow about multifamily's increasing weaknesses The apartment sector could face challenges as a result of elevated interest rates and stalled rent growth in parts of the country, as well as slowing demand in certain regions.
