The commercial real estate market in the U.S. faces a significant upheaval, with a startling 117% increase in commercial foreclosures this March compared to the previous year.
Driven by soaring interest rates and the continuing trend of remote work, the sector is under considerable strain.
California, in particular, has felt the brunt of this downturn, witnessing a staggering 405% surge in foreclosures of commercial properties.
However, it's not just California that's experiencing these shifts.

Over in Texas, the story takes a different turn, with the state outpacing the national average significantly.

This could represent investors' strategic point of interest, as Texas might offer unique opportunities because of its rising foreclosure rates.
To top it all off, Michael Burry, the famous investor from "The Big Short," thinks that inflation will keep causing trouble, and the Fed might raise interest rates even more to handle it.
