In 2026, the average loan hovers around $210,000 and the overall market grew by 8.3 % from 2024, driven by expanding access to AI‑based underwriting and confidence in the economy• The Fed’s March 2025 report noted a dip in delinquency that supports lower lending costs, which partners are translating into 1–2 % lower rates for qualified borrowers• For New York businesses, the high concentration of professional services can increase DSCR scores and reduce perceived risk, giving lenders more leeway to fast‑track approvals.
