A recent CBRE financial report suggests a liquidity crisis in the commercial real estate sector due to banks' difficulties in dealing with their buildings and a significant amount of commercial real estate loans due in 2023 and 2024.

Current interest rates and a locked-up Commerical Mortgage Backed Securities market will create a challenging economic landscape. Most banks have abandoned the CMBS sector, and life insurance companies selectively lend against only the best properties at around 50% loan-to-value ratios. Additionally, the NFIB reports that access to credit for businesses has reached an 8-year low, which could strain businesses in a recession.

Implications for Commercial Real Estate:
The liquidity crunch may lead to difficulties refinancing the $1.4 trillion commercial real estate loans due in 2023 and 2024.

The CMBS market freeze and banks' withdrawal from the sector could result in a more significant problem for the commercial real estate market. Life insurance companies becoming increasingly selective about lending could further constrain credit availability for commercial real estate.

Reduced access to credit for businesses may cause financial strains during a recession, as companies might be unable to rely on credit lines when needed most. The liquidity crisis could create opportunities for well-capitalized investors, such as private equity firms, to capitalize on the market's distress. However, the extent of these opportunities remains uncertain.

Commercial Real Estate Brokers: a decline in transactions due to the liquidity crisis and decreased credit availability will lead to reduced commissions and a more competitive market, forcing brokers to find deals or diversify their services to stay afloat proactively.

Architects: demand for new commercial real estate projects will decline, and a drop in new project requests. This will lead to reduced billings, layoffs, or a shift in focus to different sectors, such as residential, industrial, or public infrastructure projects.

Commercial Construction: contractors will see decreased demand with lower revenues, potential layoffs, or the need to diversify into other construction sectors. Contractors may also need to be more aggressive in bidding for the limited available projects, leading to tighter profit margins.

Office Furniture Manufacturers: there will be less demand for office furniture as companies reduce their space or postpone new office developments. This will decrease sales and revenues for office furniture manufacturers, who might need to adapt their product offerings, lower production, or explore alternative markets to mitigate the impact.

Furniture Distributors: a drop in demand will lead to reduced sales, a need to reduce inventory, and potential layoffs. Distributors might need to diversify their product offerings or focus on other customer segments, such as residential or home office furniture, to maintain revenue streams.
