“Bank Mortgage Portfolios Fell 8 Percent Last Year”
According to Trepp, real estate portfolios at the nation’s 100 largest banks declined 8 percent as de-leveraging through runoff of existing loans as they matured and reduced origination. No surprise: the decrease can be traced entirely to reduced construction and land loans.
Monday’s Numbers
The Commercial Mortgage Alert Trepp weekly survey (below) of 15 active portfolio lenders widened slightly as a result of a widening in spreads for 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds. Average rates closed the reporting period at 5.24%.
