Compared to the previous quarter, Q2 2024, the third quarter saw a 71% decline in overall PE and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deal values but a 5% increase in deal volume. Year-over-year comparisons show a 54% increase in deal volumes and a 41% decline in values compared to Q3 2023.
Q3 2024 experienced three inbound deals in the property development space and two outbound deals in the student housing and online rental platform sectors. Private equity activity saw 12 deals valued at $401 million, maintaining consistent deal volumes with Q2 2024. The top two deals alone accounted for $346 million, indicating a concentration of value in fewer transactions.
Despite the decline in funding values over Q2 2024, deal values continued to outperform those in both Q1 2024 and Q3 2023. The quarter also saw one initial public offering (IPO) raising $49 million, aligning with previous quarters. A significant surge in QIPs, with four deals totaling $940 million, was noted. This represents a nearly six-fold increase in QIP values compared to Q2 2024.
The robust QIP activity underscores the growing confidence in real estate firms’ ability to access public markets. Renewed PE and M&A activity in the latter part of Q3 signals potential for increased momentum in Q4 2024, the report concluded.
