In this week's episode of The TreppWire Podcast, we take a mid-year pulse check on the commercial real estate market and revisit some of Trepp's biggest predictions for 2026. We explore why CMBS issuance continues to exceed expectations, what persistently stable delinquency rates tell us about today's credit environment, and whether the market is finally shifting from an "extend and pretend" mindset to a more definitive "resolve and recognize" approach. We also break down several of the week's most notable headlines, including the structural and economic hurdles highlighted by a stalled Manhattan office-to-residential conversion, the Texas Stock Exchange's latest milestone on its path to launch, and what recent multifamily developments reveal about today's investment landscape and capital flows. Finally, we dive into Trepp's latest research on the Midwest-versus-Sunbelt debate, examining why investors may need to look beyond familiar market narratives and focus instead on the underlying fundamentals. Tune in now.
