Are you seeing valuations come down?

I'm getting quotes back from lenders and debt is getting more expensive. We have to ask for a higher cap rate to make up for the change, but I don't think the sellers have fully began to drop their valuations yet. What is everyone else seeing? Are brokers and sellers cutting valuations now?

To echo the others in this thread - In my markets, prices not coming down, but there have been several deals that have not traded and the reason cited was market not pricing the asset up to seller's expectation levels. Most brokers are with it, but the problem is that they are basically forced to give pricing expectations in order to win the business or else risk having a competitor give higher numbers, even though the BOV doesn't really mean jack shit once it hits the market (usually unpriced). There are a few groups that are notorious for doing this in my markets, and they subsequently have had some deals that haven't traded as a result of that practice coupled with where we are in the biz cycle.
