Commercial Real Estate Market Report: Q2 2024

With key economic indicators appearing to be favorable, commercial real estate transaction activity remains stagnant. This may be driven by a reluctance to strike deals when it appears more probable than in recent memory that the interest rate environment will be improving sooner rather than later.

To meet our community’s needs when the county received federal funds through the CARES Act, we needed to set up new processes and systems very quickly. Baker Tilly was with us every step of the way, helping ensure we were in compliance with regulations. We relied on their guidance throughout the process and as a result, were able to successfully distribute much-needed funds to our community and partners.
