Commercial & land desk · August 28, 2026

Warsh can move the 10-year. Brochure NOI cannot.

Last updated:

Friday’s commercial brief is a Treasury-risk day. Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole keynote can move the 10-year CMT and commercial takeout spreads before the weekend. A offering-memorandum NOI cannot. The last official national 30-year residential index is 6.75% as of August 27. Treat that as analog, not as a CRE quote.

What a hawkish Jackson Hole speech does to CRE bids

A hawkish speech raises the odds that the 10-year stays elevated into the September 15–16 FOMC meeting. Higher risk-free yields push exit cap rates wider unless NOI grows enough to offset. Most marketing decks assume the offset. Public markets do not have to.

Freddie Mac’s weekly 30-year is 6.66% as of August 27. Residential and commercial credit can diverge, but they share the Treasury curve. Do not lock a land basis to a teaser that a bank has not offered.

What this desk will cite after the close

Saturday’s note can cite Friday’s official 10-year CMT if Treasury publishes it. This Friday morning note does not invent that close. It also does not invent a cap-rate survey for office, industrial, or multifamily.

FAQ

Does Fast Home Loan Daily quote cap rates on August 28?

No. This desk will not invent a city or sector cap-rate print. Price off the Treasury curve and named public filings.

Is the 6.75% 30-year a construction loan rate?

No. It is a national residential daily index as of August 27, 2026. Construction and permanent CRE loans are separate products this site does not originate.

National mortgage indexes and what they mean for buyers and owners
Existing-home turnover, new supply, and the lock-in effect
Cap rates, takeout costs, and land that still has to pencil
Vacancy, rent, and the operating brief
Operators should read Census vacancy and BLS rent of primary residence against a three-week-high purchase rate. Turnover math changed. Marketing copy did not.
Existing-home turnover stays pinned to the 6.81% 30-year. The official housing series to watch this week are Census construction prints and the next existing-home sales release — not a teaser lock.
