Tier II and III Markets Surge

Forecasa CEO Sean Morgan contributed this article to the American Association of Private Lenders, examining growth trends in Tier II and III lending markets.

What the article covers

The piece looks at how origination numbers are rising even as loan amounts level off, with secondary and tertiary markets seeing outsized growth. It breaks down volume and growth changes following the Federal Reserve's rate decisions and explores where private lending activity is expanding beyond traditional metro strongholds.

Why it matters

As competition intensifies in primary markets, lenders who can identify emerging opportunities in smaller metros are better positioned for growth. Understanding where volume is shifting helps inform market entry and expansion decisions.
