Trepp reported that delinquency rate for multifamily commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loans rose slightly in May, climbing 10 basis points.
Overall CBMS delinquency rate also down slightly
For delinquencies, Trepp focuses on loans that are 30 or more days delinquent. The current CMBS delinquency report provides data through May 2024. While it only looks at CMBS loans, it breaks out results by the type of property covered by the loans.
The delinquency rate on loans on multifamily property was 1.70 percent, up from 1.33 percent in April but down from 1.84 percent in March. One year ago, the delinquency rate on CMBS loans for multifamily property was 1.46 percent.
Trepp found that the overall delinquency rate of CMBS loans in May was 4.97 percent. This is down 10 basis points from last month’s level of 5.07 percent.
The report noted that loans that are past their maturity date but are still current on their interest payments are not counted as being delinquent. However, if they were included, the overall delinquency rate on CMBS loans would rise to 6.00 percent.
