For the last three years, commercial real estate has existed in limbo — frozen capital, pricing uncertainty, and buyers and sellers waiting for clarity.

According to the Q4 2025 Commercial Real Estate Market Pulse, that waiting period ended in Q3 2025.

In this episode, Logan Freeman of Midwest CRE Advisors kicks off the Market Signal series by breaking down the data behind what he believes was a true inflection point for the market — not a bounce, not a relief rally, but a structural shift.

Logan explains:

• Why Q3 2025 marked the transition from price discovery to price acceptance

• How transaction volume and velocity signal renewed conviction

• What rising prices across multifamily, office, retail, and industrial really mean

• Why this is no longer a distress-clearing market, but a quality-driven market

• What smart owners, investors, and operators are doing right now

Markets don’t turn when everyone feels good — they turn when risk becomes measurable again. And according to the data, that’s exactly what happened.

If you’re an owner, investor, broker, or operator trying to position for 2026, this episode breaks down why hesitation is now a liability — and preparation is being rewarded.

🎙️ This episode launches the Market Signal series, where we break down the data before the crowd reacts to it.

Proposals to limit or ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes are dominating national headlines — but would those policies actually improve housing affordability?

In this solo episode, Logan Freeman of Midwest CRE Advisors breaks down the data behind institutional ownership, housing supply, and pricing — and explains why the narrative doesn’t fully align with reality, especially in Kansas City and Mid-America markets.

Logan walks through:

• How much of the single-family housing stock institutions actually own

• Why most rental homes are still owned by small, local landlords

• What rising interest rates have done to institutional buying behavior

• Kansas City home prices, inventory levels, and rental demand

• Why supply, construction costs, and financing matter more than headlines

Using Kansas City as a real-world case study, this episode cuts through the noise to explain what really drives housing affordability — and what investors, developers, and policymakers should focus on heading into 2026.

🎙️ Listen in for a data-backed perspective on housing policy, institutional capital, and Midwest market fundamentals.
