The tightening, driven by moderating Treasury volatility and renewed conduit issuance in Q1 2026, has created more constructive refinancing conditions for borrowers facing 2026 maturities, with 10-year life company quotes narrowing to approximately 170 basis points at 50–65 percent LTV and office continuing to price wider due to elevated distress and rollover risk concerns.
