The commercial real estate (CRE) sector faces $362 billion in maturing debt this year, according to the latest estimates from Trepp LLC. For the five-year period of 2012 to 2016, the company's research team estimates $1.73 trillion of CRE maturities, with the largest one-year sum of $371.1 billion dropping in 2013. They also reported that nearly two-thirds of the maturities through 2016 are underwater or close to sinking underwater, which could reduce borrowers' chances for extending the loan term upon reaching the balloon date.

The delinquency rate among commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) rose in eight of 12 months in 2011, according to a report released Wednesday by Trepp. Most recently, the rate rose seven basis points to 9.58 percent for the month of December. That's up from 9.2 percent one year ago. Trepp views this as the first of a six to twelve month stretch where the rate could increase by 75 basis points in aggregate, as loans originated in 2007 begin reaching their balloon dates.

The delinquency rate for loans held in U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) fell 26 basis points to 9.51 percent in November, according to Trepp, LLC. That's the second biggest decline recorded by the firm this year, surpassed only by August's 36 point drop. The rate has now fallen in four of the 11 months of 2011. Recent declines, however, likely aren't the makings of a trend, Trepp says. The company is expecting increases in coming months as 2007 vintage loans start to reach their five-year balloon maturity dates.

In total, 11 banks failed during the month of October, collectively with $617 million in nonperforming loans.

Recording a slight decrease in delinquencies in its preliminary third quarter estimate, Trepp predicts full market recovery will not occur for years. Residential mortgage delinquencies fell 0.3 percent in the third quarter to 12 percent, according to Trepp's preliminary data. This is down 1.1 percent from last year. The research firm says the slow rate of improvement reflects the high volume of foreclosures and weak price trends that still plague the nation's housing markets.
