Today’s Real Estate News (July 15, 2025):
Housing Market Signals Drag on Economy
Moody’s Analytics economist Mark Zandi warns that persistently high mortgage rates (around 7%) are slamming home sales, homebuilding is stalling, and prices are softening.
Private Credit Floods Commercial Real Estate
A new Moody’s report shows nonbank lenders like Blackstone and BlackRock are replacing traditional banks in CRE lending. These private-credit deals now account for roughly 10% of U.S. and European CRE financing. But with less regulation and riskier loan-to-value ratios (60–75%), experts warn of potential instability.
Mortgage Rates (July 15, 2025):
30‑Year Fixed: 6.83%
15‑Year Fixed: 6.03%
30-Year Jumbo: 6.90%
10‑Year Treasury Yield: 4.42%
