The Fed singled out CRE as a sector where credit is still tight and pushed expected rate cuts further out, telling anyone banking on cheap-money refinancing to wait. At the same time, the three-year \"extend and pretend\" narrative cracked: a Fed economist found little evidence banks are hiding bad loans, while banks are openly writing them down and lending again — suggesting the distress wave some funds are still waiting for may have already passed. Permission, not capital, drove the other two: four very different cities moved within days to pause data-center construction over power and water, shrinking the buildable map, while HUD signaled it may tie federal housing grants to whether cities actually speed up permitting. The throughline — for anyone building or financing in 2026, the policy and the paperwork now move the market as much as the price does.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Gp9aKks1akyffRH-phq075dczwHSemY1VwcauB2X6Lg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NzBm/MDFhNjQ4ZGE1MzU4/M2ViOTkwMTUzZTM3/ZTdkYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
