U.S. real estate investors are recalibrating strategies in light of a post-election policy reset, moderating but uncertain Fed signals, significant changes in regulatory and public policies, and shifting demographic and labor dynamics. Insurance and climate risk are creating unexpected headwinds, while migration trends continue to reshape where capital and tenants flow across regions.

- How will Fed policy in early 2026 shape investment activity?
- How are shifts in Fed policy influencing valuation models and deal underwriting?
- How might the appointment of a new Federal Reserve chair after May 2026 influence real estate markets, financing conditions, and investment strategy?
- Which regulatory and fiscal changes post-election carry the biggest weight for CRE?
- How are migration and labor trends influencing market demand?
