3️⃣ Office CMBS delinquencies are now above 12%, the highest since post-GFC levels. 2026 maturities face tighter lending standards and limited extension flexibility.
2️⃣ The 10-year Treasury is hovering near 4.06% with no sustained breakout. Markets still price 2–3 cuts later in 2026, but the Fed remains in wait-and-see mode.
Hedging isn’t just about lender requirements.
Many CRE teams use it proactively to manage risk and protect returns. In low-rate environments, extending hedges can smooth costs. In high-rate environments, reducing size and duration can lock in gains.
Market volatility can hit fast. Are you ready?
Our checklist gives CRE teams a clear guide to spotting early turbulence and taking action before it threatens portfolio performance.
Defeasing multiple properties in a single transaction requires tight coordination across legal teams, servicers, buyers, and sellers.
One client shared how we helped bring a complex defeasance to a smooth close by managing every detail and keeping the transaction on track from.
3️⃣ With mixed curve signals and elevated volatility, the setup favors hedging and downside protection — especially for floating-rate borrowers — while CRE liquidity remains selective but intact for high-quality assets.
2️⃣ Yields fell 6–8 bps and two Fed cuts are back on the table this year, though sticky services inflation keeps the market pricing the SOFR trough above 3%.
1️⃣ Hiring slowed sharply, job openings fell to 6.5M, and layoffs jumped to the highest January level since 2009 — pointing to gradual labor softening, not a sudden downturn.
Not sure which securities to buy when defeasing a loan?
That's where we come in. Using the requirements in your loan documents, we create and optimize a portfolio of U.S. Treasuries that matches your payment schedule and meets all restrictions.
Trying to time a refinance can be costly.
In this 20-minute on-demand case study, see how one CRE owner waited for rates to drop and ended up with a higher rate, showing why proactive debt management beats trying to time the market.
