U.S. Capital Markets Q2 2024 insights
As we reach the halfway point of 2024, the broader capital markets environment is showing signs of resilience and adaptability despite some macroeconomic uncertainties and a disconnect between buyers and sellers regarding property valuations. Debt origination has decreased by approximately 24% year over year, a substantial improvement from Q1 2024, where it was down 48%. This positive trend is expected to continue, especially with the anticipated increase in transactional activity due to pending loan maturities.
