Fed Prepares for New Year with Potential Interest Rate Cut

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates for the third time this year, according to economists. This move could lower the key benchmark rate to 4.25-4.50%, a reduction of nearly half since September.

In 2025, however, Fed policy choices are likely to be more significant than expected. The central bank’s decisions will play a crucial role in shaping the economy and its impact on commercial real estate.

As the world’s largest economy winds down its successful year, many experts are focusing on what’s next. Commercial real estate leaders, in particular, are gearing up for a make-or-break year ahead.
