Real Estate Trends to Watch in 2025: Restructuring, Growth and Challenges in South Florida
Daily Business Review
Real Estate attorney Jorge Escobar was quoted in a Daily Business Review article discussing the real estate trends to watch in 2025, focusing on restructuring, growth and challenges in South Florida. The article explored the current state of the real estate market, which has been impacted by factors such as high interest rates, inflation and the lingering effects of the pandemic. Mr. Escobar highlighted the potential for market improvement and the likelihood of significant deal restructuring in the coming year, including the influence of maturing loans and cautious lenders.
"During 2024, loans started to mature, and the lenders weren't being paid off," he said. "However, they didn't necessarily want to foreclose because they'd end up with assets they didn't really want or know how to handle. For the most part, lenders have been trying to work out solutions with their borrowers."
