Episode Synopsis


Wednesday morning, and while your competition operates on Monday's stale data, we're delivering the mid-week intelligence that positions institutional real estate capital for today's advantage.

**Wednesday Market Pulse:**
- SOFR steady at 4.34% with September average forecast 4.339%
- September 16-17 FOMC meeting approaching with 87% probability of 25bp cut
- Treasury 10-Year at 4.28%, but 30-Year climbing toward 5% (level not seen since 2008 crisis)

**Mid-Week CMBS Intelligence:**
- Office CMBS delinquency hit record 11.66% in August (up 62bp from July)
- Exploding over 10 percentage points since December 2022
- Overall CMBS delinquency 7.29% for sixth consecutive monthly increase
- Multifamily surged to nine-year high 6.86%, while industrial maintains low 0.60% rate

**Wednesday Deal Dynamics:**
- Institutional investors cautiously re-engaging after period of reevaluation
- 65% of real estate professionals anticipating "good" or "excellent" profitability in 2025
- Transaction volume for 12 months ending July 2025 reached $133B (27% increase)
- Investment-grade properties driving 33% annual increase

**Sector Mid-Week Positioning:**
- Industrial: continues robust performance driven by e-commerce/logistics
- Multifamily: remains strong performer despite Sun Belt overbuilding challenges
- Data centers: attracting significant institutional investment (Blackstone's $16B AirTrunk acquisition)
- Office: sector challenged but renewed interest in Class A assets as return-to-office mandates increase

**Wednesday Advantage:**
- Wall of maturities: over $1.2T in CRE loans maturing by end 2025, particularly office sector
- Institutional investors reducing CRE allocations average 10% in 2025 but major buyers gradually returning
- Property values reset making return profiles more attractive for patient capital

Wednesday intelligence that drives institutional advantage while others operate on stale data. Because in commercial real estate capital markets, mid-week positioning isn't optional - it's competitive edge.
