As commercial real estate moves beyond two turbulent years, 2026 is emerging as a year of growth for professionals who know where to look. According to First American economist Xander Snyder, the biggest wins may come not from booming sectors but from distressed properties—especially those with short‑term issues that can recover with creative financing, recapitalization, or strategic repositioning. Multifamily distress, selective office restructuring, and the rise of non‑QM lending are setting the stage for brokers, investors, and new licensees to capitalize on flexible deal‑making and evolving market conditions.
Housing is taking over the national spotlight in 2026, with federal leaders, big‑city mayors, and market professionals all zeroing in on affordability, supply, and sweeping policy changes.

Florida is gearing up for a potential overhaul of its property tax system, with lawmakers pushing proposals that could dramatically reduce or even eliminate property taxes by 2026. Homeowners facing rising bills welcome the idea, but city and county leaders warn it could cripple essential services like police, fire response, and local infrastructure.
