My Take On Hillsborough
Hillsborough apartment sales held flat from the second quarter to the third, about 50 deals each once the four institutional trades are set aside, but the dollars behind the small deals fell by a third, $36.5 million to $23.9 million. Deals that pencil are still getting done. What changed is how they close. Cash went from 26% of purchases in the second quarter to 48% in the third, and bridge and hard-money lenders went from 10 deals to 3. On buildings of ten units and up, one of the quarter's four buyers used a bank at closing. With the 10-year above 5% and prices holding, that is an effective lending freeze on anything that needs a commercial loan to pencil. The buyer with cash is setting the price, and a seller waiting for a financed buyer is waiting on rates.
