Lender Appetite Snapshot

Life companies, CMBS, Agency, banks/credit unions, and debt funds are all active but selective. The best execution continues to go to well-capitalized sponsors with clean track records and strong submarkets.

CLS CRE Perspective

Rates are stable but the market remains bifurcated. Borrowers with strong deals in industrial, multifamily, and select necessity retail are seeing competitive terms. Office and more challenged asset types require more creative structuring.
