How competitive is Lévis for commercial debt?
9 tracked lenders serve 3,100 commercial buildings — one lender per 344 buildings, a density score of 100 and rank 52 of 134 nationally. On the $2,300,000 average deal, a conventional mortgage at 5.05% sizes to $1,610,000 once both the 70% LTV cap and the 1.25x coverage floor are applied.
Lévis is a tier 3 market in the Capitalor coverage set: 149,683 residents, 3,100 tracked commercial buildings, and 9 lenders and brokers observed writing paper here. That works out to one active lender for roughly every 344 commercial buildings, a Lender Density Score of 100 — 52 of 134 nationally and 9 of 23 within QC.
Pricing starts from value, and value starts from the 6.3% Lévis cap-rate seed — the 60th tightest of the 134 markets Capitalor tracks. Applied to the $2,300,000 average transaction, that implies about $144,900 of net operating income before financing.
Take the anchor case: a conventional commercial mortgage at 5.05% over 25 years. Seventy percent of the average Lévis deal is $1,610,000, costing $113,506 a year to service. Coverage at a 1.25x floor caps the same loan at $1,644,236, so on the typical Lévis file leverage is the binding constraint and the number to solve for first.
Lévis is a deep lender market. On well-covenanted paper you should collect at least three competing quotes; spread dispersion between the best and worst bid in a market this deep is usually worth more than any rate-timing decision. 4 of the Capitalor product set are published for Lévis.
