Construction and Term Financing Trends

Hi all, with the beginning of 2023, I wanted to see what everyone is underwriting in terms of Financing (MF specifically)

I'm in Canada so my metrics are specific but I'm usually running a Prime/BA + Spread (~50bps) on Construction and a GOC 5 or 10 year + Spread (~200bps) for a takeout. This is all on conventional financing.

I was speaking to CMHC insured lenders and heard that with CMHC loan insurance you can shave off 75-100bps on relevant rates in a typical market, but given the inverted yield curve right now, they're underwriting at around 200bps below conventional.

Granted, I'm on the Devlopment borrower side of things so I have less sophistication on the matter, but curious if anyone had any insight in the matter.
