Where are commercial real estate interest rates today? Well, as we sit here today in December of 2025, the Fed funds rate is in the target range of 3.75% to 4%, hovering right around the 3.89% mark. This also affects business lines of credit and commercial lending as well. Many people are expecting a 25 basis point cut at the Fed funds meeting this week, and we are already seeing that priced into the futures markets. What does this mean for real estate investors and developers, and where are we seeing rates getting originated at today? There's so many different loan products that we work with, from banks credit unions, CMBS, life cos, debt funds, agency debt with Fannie and Freddie, and the rates have a wide range. So if we're looking at Fannie and Freddie agency debt for residential multifamily assets, those are sitting around 5.5% to 5.75% right now.
