5 Early Warning Signs a CRE Deal Is About to Stall
I’ve been reviewing deals that felt solid early but slowed or went quiet later.The same signals show up again and again.
Here are a few early warning signs I keep seeing:
  • Buyer questions shift from price to structure
  • Repeated requests for clarification on assumptions already provided
  • Underwriting timelines stretch without a clear new deliverable
  • Lender feedback becomes conditional or non-committal
  • Internal investment committee questions surface late in the process
Individually, none of these kill a deal.Together, they almost always slow momentum.
Sharing this here as a checklist going into 2026 — curious which of these others see most often.
