SRS Capital Markets Reports $1.2 Billion in Transaction Volume by Mid-Year 2025

SRS Capital Markets has announced a notable achievement in the commercial real estate sector, closing $1.2 billion in transaction volume by mid-year 2025. This figure represents the sale of 350 properties across the United States, marking a significant increase compared to the same period in 2024. According to SRS Capital Markets, this surge in activity is attributed to the improving transactional environment and the strategic expansion of their broker and support staff teams.

Matthew Mousavi, Senior Managing Principal and Co-Head of National Net Lease at SRS Capital Markets, highlighted the positive trends in both public and private markets. He pointed out the increased demand for necessity-based and value-oriented retail, credit industrial, logistics, and medical assets. Mousavi also mentioned the impact of new tax legislation on commercial real estate, particularly the benefits of accelerated and bonus depreciation for certain assets, which is expected to further stimulate demand.

The leadership at SRS Capital Markets observed that sellers have adjusted their pricing expectations in line with market conditions, facilitating deals that were challenging in the past 12 to 24 months. Patrick Nutt, another Senior Managing Principal at the firm, noted the continued strong competition for class A assets in core markets, while class B and C properties face a thinner buyer pool. Nutt emphasized that properties with high-quality tenants and real estate are still trading close to peak pricing, whereas those with lease or environmental issues have seen more significant price adjustments.

Among the best-performing asset types identified by the National Net Lease team are drive-thru buildings, which are favored for their versatility, accessibility, and high traffic counts. The team also noted a growing interest in single-tenant net-leased assets among small to mid-sized investors looking for stable alternatives to the volatile stock market. The preference for absolute NNN lease structures and the credit profile of tenants are key factors influencing transaction success in this segment.
