The Appetite for CRE Lending Is There, So What’s Missing?

This week on the CRE Weekly Digest podcast, Jamie Woodwell, Head of CRE Research at the Mortgage Bankers Association, shares key insights that signal reasons for optimism in CRE lending as 2025 approaches. The discussion covers the impact of Q3 rate cuts on loan originations, a significant uptick in CMBS single-asset, single-borrower deals, and Freddie and Fannie’s expanded multifamily loan caps for the coming year. The team also examines the increasing differentiation in office property risks and its implications for investment strategies heading into 2025.
