MBA Member Call Oct. 21: CRE and Price Discovery: Valuation and Its Discontents

Join Mortgage Bankers Association for CREF member call. Industry experts will share ideas and insights about a unique challenge in the capital markets, evaluating and pricing assets such as commercial real estate and commercial real estate debt. Senior professionals from diverse backgrounds and firms will share their perspective and walk through what past cycles can tell us or can’t about these current challenges in an uncertain environment.

One significant challenge in an economic downturn is price discovery. This can often hold true for securities, mortgages and/or real property in that the market value of each is derived in part by understanding the dynamics around the marketplace’s trading of comparable investments. 2020 transaction volumes are down considerably for commercial real estate in particular which may be a function of the challenge of price discovery on the one hand while also a contributing factor to that challenge going forward on the other hand.  Understanding valuation is crucial input for selling investments, originating loans, reporting financial results, and surveilling risk.
