MBA Projects 5 Percent Drop in Commercial and Multifamily Mortgage Financing in 2023, Strong Rebound in 2024

by John Nelson January 6, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) projects that total commercial and multifamily mortgage borrowing and lending is expected to fall to $700 billion in 2023, a 5 percent decline from an expected volume of $740 billion in 2022. Multifamily lending volume alone is expected to drop to $393 billion in 2023, an 11 percent decline from an expected total of $439 billion in 2022. The projected drop in borrowing and lending reflects current market conditions. Jamie Woodwell, head of commercial real estate research for MBA, which is based in Washington, D.C., underlined that the forecast matched what the association had been hearing from commercial and multifamily mortgage finance professionals, with many indicating the Federal Reserve’s multiple interest rate increases in rapid succession have been a key factor in the projected decline in lending and borrowing activity.

The Fed is showing no sign of slowing rate hikes in 2023, with Chairman Jerome Powell announcing after the meeting that the central bank will continue to raise rates for quite some …

Investors Drawn to Single-Family Rentals During Tough Economic Times

By John Tarantino, Arbor Realty Trust The ongoing expansion of the single-family rental (SFR) market is capturing investors’ interest like never before. Construction starts in the sector topped a record 69,000 units over the past year, while the rate of rent growth remained positive for new leases and accelerated in renewals.

In December, I was privileged to weigh in on these weighty questions as a panelist at Information Management Network’s 10th Annual Single-Family Rental Forum (West) in Scottsdale, Ariz. One of the messages I sought to convey to the audience that day is that single-family rentals have maintained their momentum as well as any corner of the housing market, as our third-quarter report bears out. And while rising interest rates and elevated risk have placed the housing market on shaky ground, SFR is on a secure foundation moving into 2023. With the average age …
