Are Tariffs Killing Commercial Real Estate Sales?

Everyone’s asking the same question right now

Are tariffs going to impact commercial real estate sales?

Here’s the truth
- They might shift the timing, but they’re not the dealbreaker people think they are.
- CRE sales are driven by a business need, loan maturities, lease expirations, retirement, death/divorce, and investment strategies.
- Orange County is highly competitive and low inventory allows sellers to maintain pricing power.

If this persists long-term, we could actually see more sales, not less.

Owners are getting crushed by higher maintenance, renovation and re-tenanting costs.

That might push some to sell sooner just to ditch the burden and reallocate capital.

Tariffs may delay the process slightly, but they aren’t stopping deals.

If you're a seller in Orange County, you're still in control.

Watch the breakdown and share your take. Are sellers overreacting, or is this the start of something bigger?
