MBA Reports Second Quarter Commercial/Multifamily Mortgage Lending Up 107 Percent from Last Year; Up 52 Percent from First Quarter 2011

  

 Washington, DC (Aug. 4, 2011) - Second quarter 2011 commercial and multifamily mortgage loan originations were 107 percent higher than during the same period last year and 52 percent higher than  the revised figures for the first quarter of 2011, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Quarterly Survey of Commercial/Multifamily Mortgage Bankers Originations.

 "Commercial/multifamily mortgage borrowing and lending continues to rise from the depths of 2009 and 2010," said Jamie Woodwell (top right photo), MBA's Vice President of Commercial Real Estate Research. 

"Greater stability in property fundamentals and prices, and an improving sales market, are providing greater clarity for borrowers and lenders alike. 

“Property values and interest rates - coupled with job growth, consumer spending, household growth and other macro-economic trends that drive demand for commercial real estate - will be keys to how property owners seek and qualify for mortgage financing going forward."
