Six sectors. March 2026 data. Fast and sharp.
In this episode, we break down the current state of commercial real estate across six key sectors with real numbers, real pitfalls, and real opportunities:
- Multifamily — Supply wave receding. Austin permits down 97%. Assets trading at 20% discounts. Fannie/Freddie with $176B ready to deploy.
- Self-Storage — REITs up 17% YTD. Climate-controlled units commanding 50-80% premiums. AI pricing tools driving 5-8% revenue boosts.
- Mobile Home Parks — 95%+ occupancy. Only 38% of US households can afford a traditional home. Private equity rent hikes triggering regulatory backlash.
- Single Family Rental — Occupancy above 95% since 2018. 14.6M SFR households. Insurance and tax increases eating real returns.
- Short-Term Rentals — 84,000 new listings. Occupancy down 8.6%. ADRs up 6% YoY. Regulations tightening coast to coast.
- Office — Vacancy 19-23% nationally. CMBS delinquencies past 2008 levels. $875B in CRE loans maturing in 2026. Conversion plays emerging.
