Dear Reader,

Why Now Is the Time to Explore the Market with a Trusted Partner

The commercial real estate financing landscape in 2025 is marked by volatility, presenting both challenges and opportunities for borrowers. With nearly $1 trillion in CRE loans maturing this year, many borrowers are facing refinancing hurdles amid fluctuating interest rates and tightening credit conditions.

Interest rates have remained elevated, with the average rate on loans originated in 2024 reaching 6.2% according to S&P Global. This increase has added substantial financial pressure on borrowers, particularly as they contend with more challenged underwriting criterion from lenders.

Despite these challenges, the Mortgage Bankers Association forecasts a 16% increase in commercial and multifamily lending in 2025, signaling a cautious optimism in the market. This uptick suggests that lenders are actively seeking opportunities, making it an opportune time for borrowers to explore the broader market for financing options.

In this complex environment, having a seasoned advisor by your side is crucial. With years of experience navigating the commercial real estate financing world, I can help you:

• Assess your property
• Underwrite and evaluate your financing to appeal to a range of lenders
• Compare financing options to secure the most favorable terms
• Navigate the intricacies of the current market to make informed decisions

Let’s talk about how we can position your project to take advantage of today’s market conditions.
