Commercial Real Estate Coming Back, but Unevenly- WSJ.com
The Wall Street Journal reports that not all of the markets, however, are recovering at the same levels.
- Many smaller cities and the suburbs do not have adequate cash flow to even service the loan – the delinquency rate on CMBS loans is up from 1 percent in 2007 to a massive 9.34 percent today
- The rise in value is often not accompanied by increased rents or occupancies, but rather a reduction in the cap rate and/or an increase in the quality (economically speaking) of the tenant(s)
- Everything is tied in the long-run to jobs, and the miniscule 36,000 added in January 2011 does not warrant broad-based recovery.
