How Much Does It Cost To Sell My House? If you’re toying with the idea of selling your house, you’re probably wondering how much it’ll cost. To be honest, the final number will depend on several factors like the offer you accept, if you help with your buyer’s closing costs, how many repairs you tackle, and more. Closing Costs and Commission These are the fees you’ll pay at the closing table to cover various aspects of the sale. You’ll have your own closing costs and you may even offer to pay some of the buyer’s as a concession. Pre-Listing Inspection and Repairs One optional step some sellers take is having a pre-listing... #sellyourhouse #realestatenews

From CRE Daily: CMBS Issuance Levels Soar 3x Over 2023 The first half of 2024 saw a massive increase in CMBS issuance, reaching $42.29 billion, nearly tripling the $16.47 billion recorded in the same period of 2023, as reported by Trepp. Recovery: Last year's issuance was particularly low as market participants adjusted to higher interest rates and decreased property values. In contrast, 2024 has seen a shift, with borrowers returning to the market, investors showing enthusiasm, and lenders adapting their products to meet the new demand. This year’s issuance surpasses the $37.02 billion average post-lockdown first-half issuance and the $37.92 billion average of the past decade. Shifting market: Lenders have responded to borrower demand by offering more five-year mortgages, providing greater flexibility compared to traditional 10-year conduit loans. This shift has significantly impacted the market dynamics, contributing to the increased issuance volume. Zoom in: Trepp says a major trend this year is the resurgence of single-borrower deals, making up over two-thirds of the issuance. Over 80% were secured by floating-rate mortgages, with Blackstone Group leading the pack. With Blackstone expected to seek $15 billion more, CMBS issuance could top $100 billion in 2024, a feat achieved only once since 2010. Leading lenders: Wells Fargo Securities led the market as the top bookrunner, with 9.65 deals totaling $6.61 billion, representing 15.64% of the market. Close contenders were Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, holding 13.13% and 11.38% of the market share, respectively. Wells Fargo also dominated as the leading loan contributor, with an average loan size of $123 million, significantly higher than last year’s average. ➥ THE TAKEAWAY Big picture: Last year’s high rates and low valuations pressured CMBS values and financing. Trepp notes that this year, there seems to be an acceptance of these conditions, suggesting a "new normal" for CRE markets. However, predicting the second half of the year's activity remains uncertain. A notable trend is the increasing preference for five-year mortgages, which offer more flexibility compared to traditional 10-year conduit loans.
