Moodyβs expects US CRE credit conditions to remain broadly stable in 2026, supported by lower short-term interest rates and modest economic growth.
Easier financing should help refinancing activity pick up, particularly in SASB and CRE CLO markets, with data centers and office assets continuing to drive new issuance.
However, risks remain uneven across property types.
Rising leverage, persistent office vacancies, and potential retail stress could pressure conduit performance, especially in weaker markets. While the outlook suggests stabilization rather than recovery, lenders and investors are likely to stay selective as credit conditions normalize at different speeds across sectors.
