The Mortgage Bankers Association suggests that Delinquency rates for mortgages that are backed by multifamily and commercial properties boosted during this year’s third quarter.
“The delinquency rate for loans backed by commercial properties has now increased for four consecutive quarters,”
said Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s Head of Commercial Real Estate Research. “
The delinquency rate for loans backed by office properties now exceeds those of loans backed by retail and hotel properties, while the delinquency rates for multifamily and industrial property loans remain below one percent.”
Woodwell also added,
“Commercial property markets are working through challenges stemming from uncertainty about some properties’ fundamentals, a lack of transparency into where current property values are, and higher and volatile interest rates. The result has been a slow and steady uptick in delinquency rates, concentrated among loans facing more of those challenges.”
97.3% of outstanding loan balances were current or less than 30 days late at the end of the third quarter, down from 97.7% at the end of the second quarter of 2023.
2.2% were 90+ days delinquent or in REO, up from 1.7% the previous quarter.
0.2% were 60-90 days delinquent, unchanged from the previous quarter.
0.3% were 30-60 days delinquent, down from 0.4%.
Loans backed by office properties drove the increase.
5.1% of the balance of office property loans were delinquent, up from 4.0% at the end of last quarter.
5.0% of the balance of retail loan balances were delinquent, up from 4.9%.
4.9% of the balance of lodging loans were 30 days or more delinquent, down from 5.3%.
0.9% of multifamily balances were delinquent, up from 0.7%.
0.6% of the balance of industrial property loans were delinquent, down from 0.8%.
Among capital sources, CMBS loan delinquency rates saw the highest levels.
4.4% of CMBS loan balances were 30 days or more delinquent, up from 4.1% last quarter.
Non-current rates for other capital sources remained more moderate.
0.8% of FHA multifamily and health care loan balances were 30 days or more delinquent, unchanged from last quarter.
