Recent tariff policies have reintroduced volatility into global markets. As financial systems respond to the ripple effects of these trade measures, interest rates and related financial benchmarks have begun to shift—sometimes rapidly. For the commercial real estate (CRE) market, where financing, valuation, and investment decisions hinge on these numbers, this volatility brings both risk and opportunity.
When markets move quickly, timing matters—and so does data accuracy. Commercial real estate professionals who rely on outdated or inconsistent rate information risk falling behind in a fast-moving environment. That’s why having reliable access to accurate, up-to-date financial rates is no longer just helpful—it’s essential.
Key Rates for CRE Firms and Customers
Whether you operate in the U.S. or Canadian market, several core interest rate benchmarks directly influence commercial real estate strategy, pricing, and financing. At theFinancials.com we serve hundreds of CRE firms, so we know the key rates that matter most to their business and their customers.
For U.S. CRE Professionals:
- U.S. Treasury Rates: Treasury yields are foundational for pricing debt and equity in CRE markets. These rates influence everything from loan structures to investor return expectations.
- Prime Rate: Frequently used in commercial lending, the Prime Rate impacts credit lines and floating-rate debt tied to bank-based benchmarks.
- SOFR Term and Swap Rates: As the post-LIBOR benchmark for floating-rate loans, SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) has become a critical component in CRE financing structures.
U.S. Market Example
For Canadian CRE Professionals:
- Canada Mortgage Bonds (CMB): A key reference point in the financing of income-producing real estate and multi-unit residential projects.
- Government of Canada (GOC) Bonds: Used to value assets, model cap rates, and price commercial debt—similar to U.S. Treasuries.
- CORRA (Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average): Canada’s new benchmark risk-free rate, replacing CDOR in most floating-rate finance structures.
