Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real-estate brokerage, estimates that 850 of the deals it tracked in the first eight months of the year — or 6% of the total — involved seller financing.
Although the company won’t say why it turned to seller financing, the market for sales of commercial real estate provides evidence enough: Sales of U.S. retail properties were down by 80% in the third quarter to $3.4 billion from the same period a year earlier, according to Real Capital Analytics.
