About this episode
Even with the federal data slowdown, there are still alternative indicators that give us a view into what’s happening in the US economy and commercial real estate. In this episode, our hosts, Omar Eltorai and Cole Perry, lean on data from private providers and trade organizations to uncover what’s happening across consumers, small businesses, labor, and financial markets and what it all means for CRE. They’re joined by Andrew Pabon from Altus Group’s Valuation Advisory team to share insights on the CRE debt space.
