He explains how geopolitical uncertainty has already been priced into the market, with inflation pressures lingering but interest rates stabilizing rather than spiking further. John emphasizes that despite short-term noise, the broader real estate cycle is setting up a strong window for long-term investors. He also highlights where opportunity is emerging, pointing to office as a sleeper asset, continued value-add potential in retail, and softer outlooks for self-storage. The episode wraps with key markets to watch, including long-term growth cities, turnaround regions, and a few under-the-radar plays driven by economic and policy shifts.
