WASHINGTON, DC – Commercial and multifamily mortgage lending
is expected to increase in 2015, as lenders’ appetites to place new loans remains
very strong and borrowers’ appetites to borrow increase, according to a new
Mortgage Bankers Association survey of the top commercial and multifamily
mortgage origination firms.
A full 100 percent
of the top firms expect originations to increase in 2015, with 68 percent
expecting an increase of 5 percent or more.
Almost three quarters (72 percent) expect their own firm’s originations
to increase by 5 percent or more.
“Commercial mortgage lenders anticipate another competitive
year in 2015,” said Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s Vice President for Commercial
Real Estate Research. “Lenders’
appetites for loans remain very strong, and with the 10 year loans made during
2005, 2006 and 2007 maturing, lenders also anticipate growing demand from
borrowers.”
Majorities of respondents expect originations for every
major investor group to increase. 83
percent anticipate a “very strong” appetite among firms to make loans and 50
percent anticipate a “very strong” appetite among borrowers to take out
loans. Lenders were surveyed on a scale
of “very weak, weak, fair, strong, or very strong.”
