Fixed rate distribution

BandShare of fixed-rate quotes
5.00% – 6.00%A small share
6.00% – 6.50%About a third
6.50% – 7.00%About a third
7.00%+A meaningful tail

Most fixed-rate office quotes in this pool fall between 6.00% and 7.00% — a tighter band than the full 5.49%–7.80% spread suggests.

Medical office is both the largest cohort here and prices right at the pool-wide median (6.50%), while suburban office runs about 10 bps wider (6.60%) — a small but consistent premium likely tied to more variable tenant/lease-rollover risk relative to owner-occupied and healthcare-anchored medical space.

Texas prices noticeably tighter than the rest of the pool (6.25% median) despite being the largest single-state cohort — a reminder that high quote volume in a market doesn't necessarily mean wider spreads; it can just as easily reflect a deep, competitive lender base.
