ltus Group Limited announced a robust rebound in U.S. commercial real‑estate sales for Q3, suggesting the market is regaining momentum after a slow start. The CRE Investment and Transactions Quarterly Report shows investors poured $150.6 billion into U.S. properties, a 23.7 % rise from Q2 and 25.1 % above the same period last year—one of the strongest quarterly turnarounds since before COVID.

    Apartment deals led the surge, with spending up 51.1 % YoY and making up more than one‑third of all single‑asset transactions. Industrial, office and general commercial assets also grew faster than the overall 25.1 % market increase. Hospitality, however, fell 11.9 % YoY, highlighting uneven sector performance.

    The strong quarter pushed cumulative Q1‑Q3 2025 sales to $375 billion, up 10.3 % from the same period in 2024 and 13 % from 2023. Median price per square foot rose 2.9 % QoQ and 14.2 % YoY, signaling a healthier pricing environment that encourages owners and investors even as borrowing costs remain higher than the early‑2020s low‑rate era.
