Key Takeaways

  1. Higher-for-longer rates disrupt commercial real estate refinancing plans.
  2. Rising costs of interest-rate caps increase financial pressure on property owners.
  3. Owners may need to sell or walk away from troubled properties.

What Happened?

Higher-for-longer interest rates are shaking up the commercial real estate market. Many property owners hoped for rate cuts in 2024, believing they could wait out the high rates and refinance their loans more easily. However, the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep rates steady, along with persistent inflation and robust economic data, dashed these hopes.

The forward curve now suggests the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) will be 4.825% at the start of 2025, indicating only two small cuts this year instead of the six expected in January.

Why It Matters?

The extended period of high rates increases the cost of hedging interest-rate exposure for property owners. Borrowers with floating-rate debt must purchase interest-rate caps to reassure lenders they can meet repayments even if rates rise. For instance, extending a one-year interest-rate cap on a $100 million mortgage at a 3% strike rate now costs $2.1 million, up from $1.3 million in January.

This situation forces commercial real estate owners to reassess their options, potentially leading to a surge in property sales or loan defaults, which could impact property values and market stability.

What’s Next?

As high rates persist, property owners face tough choices. Some may need to inject more capital into their properties to secure loan extensions, while others might decide to sell their buildings early, despite the uncertainty about prices. The extend-and-pretend strategy that worked post-2008 financial crisis is less viable now, as ultralow interest rates are unlikely to return.

Keep an eye on commercial real estate transactions and potential market adjustments as owners navigate these financial pressures. This evolving landscape could present both risks and opportunities for investors in the real estate market.
