A lot of shops haven't changed their benchmark returns, that's why no deals are getting done. When people were looking for 8% IRR on Core, 15% IRR on value add, and 20% IRR on development before interest rate rises, they are still looking at those metrics now. Markets are only changing in the fact that deals no longer hit those thresholds, so until the deals start making sense again a lot of places are pencils down and hence the layoffs that are starting to occur.
