Factoid of the Day Friday, May 17, 2013
The delinquency rate on U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) declined in April to its lowest level in five years, according to REIT.com. Fitch Ratings reported that late payments for CMBS fell 19 basis points to 7.44% in April. New delinquencies reported totaled $747 million. It was the first time that new delinquencies came in below the $1.0 billion mark since February 2009. Fitch sees the delinquency rate moving lower as real estate conditions improve.
