The report includes a summary of major trends and detailed charts and tables that provide current and historical information on the economy and commercial/multifamily real estate markets.  Among the findings covered in the DataBook:

·        Property markets continued to improve, with rents growing and vacancy rates ticking down.

·        Year-to-date borrowing by commercial and multifamily real estate owners is running at the same pace as last year.

·        Low interest rates and improving property fundamentals are prompting borrowers to act, but the relatively low volume of loans hitting maturity is checking overall demand.

·        Commercial and multifamily mortgage performance continued to strengthen during the second quarter.

·        Among loans held on bank balance sheets, the 30-90 day delinquency rate fell to the lowest level in the series history, going back to 1993.

MBA’s Quarterly DataBook compiles the most up-to-date information on topics of interest to commercial/multifamily real estate finance industry professionals, including trends in the economy, property sales, originations, delinquencies, and mortgage debt outstanding.
