What are current commercial real estate loan rates in 2026?
Current CRE rates in 2026 by loan type: Conventional Permanent: 6.50–8.00%. SBA 504: approx. 6.00–7.00% (blended). SBA 7(a): Prime + spread (up to 2.75%). Bridge Loans: 8.50–12.00%+. Construction: Prime + 1.50–3.00%. Rates fluctuate with Treasury yields and SOFR.
What factors most affect the interest rate I'll receive?
The 7 key rate factors: (1) Credit score: 720+ qualifies for best rates; 680 is standard. (2) LTV: 65% LTV gets better rates than 75%. (3) DSCR: 1.40x+ earns the best pricing. (4) Property type: Multifamily/Industrial are favored; Hospitality/Retail are higher rate. (5) Loan size: Larger loans ($2M+) often get better spreads. (6) Borrower experience. (7) Market location.
What is the difference between fixed and variable rate commercial loans?
Fixed-rate: Rate stays constant for the term (5–10 years). Best for long-term holders. Variable/Floating: Rate adjusts periodically based on SOFR or Prime. Bridge loans are almost always floating rate. SBA 504 uses a fixed rate for the debenture portion.
How do prepayment penalties work on commercial real estate loans?
Commercial loans usually have prepayment penalties. Step-down penalties (e.g., 5-4-3-2-1%) are common on bank loans. Yield maintenance or Defeasance are common on CMBS loans (expensive to exit). SBA 7(a) has a 5-3-1% penalty only for terms of 15+ years. Always model your exit before closing.
How do commercial loan rates differ by property type?
Lenders price risk based on property type. Multifamily and Industrial typically command the lowest rates (tightest spreads). Retail and Office generally see rates 0.25%–0.50% higher due to vacancy risks. Hospitality and Special Purpose properties often carry rates 0.50%–1.00% higher than multifamily due to management intensity and specialized use.
Can I lock in a commercial real estate rate before closing?
Yes, but it varies. Commitment Lock: Locks the rate after underwriting approval for 45–90 days (most common). Application Lock: Rare and often requires a fee. SBA 504: The rate is set at the time the debenture is sold (after closing), so you float until then. Construction: Permanent loan rates are typically not locked until the project nears completion.
