WASHINGTON, DC (July 1, 2008)--The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) released today its most recent Commercial/Multifamily Research DataNote, which examines federally published data on banks' commercial/multifamily mortgage delinquency rates.
The DataNote finds that some of these series include construction loans, including those for single-family and other construction and development projects.
The inclusion of these loans greatly inflates the delinquency rates reported for commercial and multifamily real estate loans. Once construction and development loans are excluded, commercial and multifamily mortgages have delinquency levels that are close to historic lows.
