Buyers of commercial real estate should not assume just because they are “far off” from the asking price they shouldn’t write an offer.
Sellers are capitulating more now than they have at any point over the past 30 months of this CRE value recession.
I think the higher for longer reality is really starting to sink in with owners, it doesn’t take very long to underwrite a property and make a qualified offer, and some of the newer AI agent models are making the underwriting faster and more efficient.
Take the time, underwrite the offering, submit the offer. Do this a couple of dozen times, and you will likely find yourself with a attractive buying opportunity you wouldn’t have had if you “pre-qualified” the deal based on the asking price being too aggressive.
Don’t be lazy.
Take my advice, I’ve been doing this for a little while now.
I know a thing or two.
