Ballast Rock’s Post

What’s next for real estate under the incoming administration?  A hard landing isn’t likely, but elevated interest rates may push the 'extend and pretend' game to its limits by 2025. Discover how these dynamics could shape workforce housing in our recent article penned by our Ballast Rock Asset Management Sunbelt real estate leadership team:  

What factors might impact real estate investing in the year ahead? Founder and CEO Thomas Carroll joined Bloomberg Radio this week to explain why our real estate team are so bullish about investing in workforce housing in the Southeast US, despite concerns about how interest rates and tariffs might negatively affect costs in 2025. Learn more in the interview below:

I had an excellent conversation on Bloomberg Radio regarding real estate investing this past year and the prospects for 2025. While there are lots of factors to track at the macro-level, such as interest rates (that have not dropped as fast or as steeply as everyone was expecting a few months ago) or the potential for tariffs under the second Trump Administration, I am bullish on our strategy of buying and improving workforce multifamily housing in the Southeast, where both population and wages are growing faster than national US averages. 

We may see the “extend and pretend” game run out of runway in 2025.      Ballast Rock Founder and CEO Thomas Carroll explains how, after patiently waiting to deploy capital for almost two years from our current real estate fund, we expect that workforce housing in the Southeast may provide some excellent investment opportunities in 2025 and beyond.

According to Marcus & Millichap CEO Hessam Nadji, the commercial real estate market is on track to reach a turning point in 2025 as a variety of positive factors converge, including gradually improving interest rates and a 10-year treasury yield that is coming back in. Other factors pointing to positive momentum in the new year are steady job growth, two years of price corrections, commercial property value adjustments of between 20% and 30%, and a pullback in supply with lower construction starts.
