The U.S. Dollar Is Down 10% So Far This Year. Here’s What That Means For CRE
July, 15 2025
We’re proud to share that Astor Realty Capital’s CEO, Joe Berko, was recently featured in Bisnow’s national coverage, providing expert commentary on the implications of the U.S. dollar’s recent 10% drop and what it means for commercial real estate investment in the current macro environment.
In the article, Joe discusses how a weakened dollar is shifting the dynamics for international investors looking at U.S. commercial real estate:
“The U.S. is on sale.”
“A few months ago, you would have gotten 8% less for your dollar, and that’s just the dollar. When you factor in the repricing of assets and discounts being offered in many U.S. markets, international investors are seeing a rare window of opportunity.”
Joe’s insights reflect Astor’s strategic positioning across gateway U.S. markets, including New York, Florida, and Texas—where we are actively deploying capital into value-driven, risk-adjusted opportunities.
