US CMBS Delinquency Rate Plunges Thanks to Loan Resolutions
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 08, 2016 -- Trepp LLC, the leading provider of information, analytics and technology to the CMBS, commercial real estate, and banking markets, released its January 2016 US CMBS Delinquency Report today (available at http://info.trepp.com/january-2016-us-cmbs-delinquency-report-pr).
Driven by the resolution of the $3 billion Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village loan, The Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate underwent its largest improvement in over three years. The delinquency rate for US commercial real estate loans in CMBS is now 4.35%, 82 basis points lower month-over-month. Year-over-year, delinquencies for US commercial real estate loans have fallen 131 basis points.
In January, CMBS loans that were previously delinquent but paid off with a loss or at par totaled a whopping $5.8 billion, with $3 billion of that coming from StuyTown. Over $1.7 billion in loans became newly delinquent, while about $300 million in loans were cured last month
“By most measures, it’s been a tough start to the year for CMBS,” according to Manus Clancy, Senior Director at Trepp. “Spreads have widened sharply and volatility has spiked, while liquidity remains an issue. However, the huge improvement in the CMBS delinquency rate is certainly an encouraging sign. CMBS investors can hang their hat on the fact that legacy problems continue to be resolved and the volume of troubled loans keeps falling.”
After months of being the worst performing major property type, the multifamily delinquency rate plunged 597 basis points to 2.31%. The apartment sector is now the best performing major property type. The office sector had the second highest improvement in January, dropping 55 basis points to 5.24%.
