The biggest year-over-year increase in commercial foreclosures was seen in California, where foreclosures on commercial buildings soared by 238%. New York saw a 48% rise, and Florida experienced a 49% increase. The delinquency rate for commercial mortgages also saw a slight rise in the third quarter, with the percentage of loans that were 60-90 days late increasing to 0.3%, and the percentage of loans that were at least 90 days late rising to 2.7%. Outstanding loan balances that were less than 30 days late fell slightly but remained elevated at 96.8%.
Commercial real estate prices in the US dropped by 9% year-over-year in the first quarter, according to International Monetary Fund data. Real estate experts have been warning of more distress to come, particularly in the office segment. Demand for second-tier office buildings has fallen since the pandemic, leading to forecasts of a wave of forced sales and defaults as debt continues to mature in the sector.
Some property experts speculate that the sale of unused office space could result in a wave of conversions to apartments, which could help solve issues for office owners and add supply to a constrained housing market. However, such overhauls are difficult and costly for landlords.
Despite these challenges, some analysts are more optimistic. A Moody's analysis found that transactions in the commercial real estate market had already bottomed out, with sales volume rising for the first time in two years in September. This could indicate a potential rebound in the market.
