Prices of commercial real estate loans underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) declined slightly in February, according to new data from DebtX.
During the month, the estimated price of whole loans securing the CMBS universe decreased to 96.6% at the end of February from 96.7% at the end of January. Prices were 96.5% in February 2018.
“The slight decrease in loan prices in the CMBS universe in February was the result of an increase in the Treasury yield curve,” said DebtX Managing Director Will Mercer.
