They say perception precedes reality. In the case of commercial real estate finance, then, the divergent opinions surrounding the health of capital markets has produced gossip, innuendo, rumors and fear. “Doom loop,” “meltdown,” “downward spiral,” “debt bomb” and “banking crisis” are phrases that regularly appear in articles attached to underwater multifamily portfolios or summaries of heavily leveraged office towers whose rents can no longer service their debt.

Automated valuation models (AVMs) have been around for a while in the residential real estate industry. The first publicly-available AVM was released by Zillow in 2006.

On the first day that “Zestimate” was released, the website saw over 1 million views. By the fifth day, views had reached 2 million. Since then, Zillow…

People might just be buying smaller or bigger homes. So it doesn't tell you if prices have gone up or down. But it does tell you how buyers' needs have changed.
