“Nearly Half of Commercial Mortgages that Mature in 2011 are Underwater”
According to Trepp LLC, approximately one-half of the $346 billion of commercial real estate mortgages that will mature this year have outstanding principal balances greater than the value of the property serving as collateral for the mortgage; scary isn’t it!
Monday’s Numbers
The Commercial Mortgage Alert Trepp weekly survey (below) of 15 active portfolio lenders widened a bit (I know, not very precise, but it was only three basis points). Range bound around the 5.00 percent level is not a bad place to be.
