      Do we have a Commercial Real Estate crisis on hand?

      Commercial Real Estate Crisis? The delinquency rate on commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) for offices spiked to 9.4% in October, the highest in 11 years. The delinquency rate of office CMBS loans has now risen by 5 TIMES over the last 2 years. Delinquencies are officially rising at a pace only seen after the 2008 Financial Crisis. This puts the office CMBS delinquency rate on track to surpass an all-time high of 10.3% seen in July 2012. Meanwhile, the overall US CMBS delinquency rate rose to 6.0%, the most since the 2020 pandemic. The commercial real estate crisis is real.
