In a recent episode of Moody’s Practical CRE, Clara Sierra hosted Blake Coles and Chris Stanley to discuss the current state of commercial real estate (CRE) lending. The conversation focused on how banks are dealing with uncertainty, the involvement of private credit, and the importance of relying on fundamentals rather than headlines for strategic guidance.

Key points from the discussion included how lenders are adjusting to unexpected interest rate changes and regulatory challenges. The participants also highlighted the gradual progress in price discovery within the market. Additionally, they emphasized that scenario planning and maintaining portfolio transparency have become increasingly vital.

The discussion is relevant for bankers, credit officers, and investors seeking insights and practical advice in navigating the complexities of CRE lending.
