CRE Lending Surges 90% Y-O-Y in Q1
By Paul Bubny
Commercial real estate lending surged in the first quarter of 2025, driven by higher financing volumes and robust activity from banks, although caution persists due to government policy and economic uncertainty impacting Treasury yields, CBRE said Monday. The CBRE Lending Momentum Index, tracking the pace of CBRE-originated commercial loan closings in the U.S., increased by 13% from Q4 2024 and 90% year-over-year.
Commercial mortgage loan spreads tightened significantly in Q1, averaging 183 basis points. That’s down 29 bps Y-O-Y and one bp from Q4 2024. Multifamily loan spreads narrowed by seven bps to 149 bps, the lowest since Q1 2022, due largely to tighter agency loan spreads.

Senate Bill Looks to Raise FHA Multifamily Loan Limits
By Erik Sherman
A Senate bill, the Housing Affordability Act, introduced by Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Dave McCormick (R-PA), is an attempt to increase affordable housing stock by updating multifamily loan limits under Title II of the National Housing Act.
“By updating a nearly two-decade-old loan limit, the Housing Affordability Act will expand access to affordable loans for building multifamily housing and ultimately bring down housing costs,” said Gallego in prepared remarks.
