The captivating sight of the Capital Wheel has become an unmistakable symbol for DC residents, easily recognizable from the banks of the Potomac River. Businesses situated within National Harbor enjoy exposure to a significant influx of visitors, with 15.2 million annual visitors in 2022 and a growing trend towards its usual average of nearly 20 million visitors.

The business-friendly environment of National Harbor fosters thriving hospitality, entertainment and retail sectors. These local attractions have not only attracted more annual visitors but also played a crucial role in stimulating the local economy and driving economic growth.

 Furthermore, the presence of other attractions in close proximity, such as the MGM National Harbor Casino, TopGolf, Tanger Outlets, Rosecroft Raceway and Old Town Alexandria, contribute to the enduring and robust demand for the submarket.

Real Estate Capital Institute® (RECI) finds banks' higher single-digit funding rates holding back some new construction and redevelopment projects

 

John Oharenko

Chicago, IL, April 1, 2024 – The unemployment rate, the annual GDP growth rate, and the inflation rate all hover in the 3% to 4% range.  For now, the Fed feels comfortable maintaining current benchmark rates.  As a result, no dramatic news seems to affect the real estate capital markets. 




Yet realty market fundamentals show some unusual patterns, namely "Mortgage Term Inversion." In other words, short-term pricing remains higher than long-term debt, illustrated as follows:

 

Treasury Yield Curve Inversion – The yield curve has stayed inverted since the Fed took a significant stance against inflation in mid-2022.  This inversion translates to short-term bonds yielding more than long-term bonds for a record number of days in modern history.   The benchmark five-year and ten-year treasuries are nearly identical, but shorter-term treasuries (particularly one year or less) are priced at about 75 to 125 basis points higher.




Floating vs. Fixed Rate Pricing - Short-term rates are more expensive than longer-term ones.  For example, agency-based floating rate programs are at about 7.5%.  Banks and other adjustable-rate funding sources provide rates in the higher single-digit to lower teens.  These higher rates continue to constrain new construction and redevelopment activity.  In contrast, more favorable agency fixed-rate pricing starts as low as 5.25% to as much as 8%. 




Market Uncertainty and Targeted Policies - A pricing gap of as much as 200 basis points between short and long-term debt indicates investor uncertainty in monetary policy and the economy's overall direction.  Furthermore, agencies continue to target underserved realty markets with attractively subsidized pricing, focusing on maintaining and creating affordable housing.

 

John Oharenko, the Director of the Real Estate Capital Institute®, emphasizes, "Mortgage Term Inversion favors stabilized, performing properties, as well as affordable housing.  Lenders fear unproven cash flow, namely development risk, creating a vacuum in the short-term funding arena."

 

The Real Estate Capital Institute® is a volunteer-based research organization that tracks realty rates data for debt and equity yields.
