According to JLL's quarterly bidding and credit indexes released on Tuesday, bidding for commercial properties in July posted its strongest monthly improvement in a year, with the second highest count of unique bidders in the index's five-year history. Competition among lenders also significantly surpassed previous record highs. JLL noted that despite ongoing macro uncertainty, the weight of active capital in the market is counteracting volatility, with credit flowing more freely from various sources. Investors are specifically favoring retail and industrial sectors, while multifamily remains the weakest segment for bidding and credit activity. JLL believes there are no major warning signs for overall CRE competition, expecting gradual rather than explosive growth.
