CRE Mortgage Originations Surge in Q2 2024

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, commercial real estate mortgage originations jumped by 27% in Q2 2024

By the numbers: Overall, originations were up 3% year-over-year and 27% from Q1 2024, marking a modest recovery in borrowing and lending despite high interest rates. This contrasts with the sharp declines seen in the same period last year, where originations were down 53% year-over-year.

  • Hotel originations soared with a 172% year-over-year increase and an 84% jump from Q1.

  • Healthcare and industrial sectors also saw strong gains, with healthcare originations up 50% year-over-year and industrial up 77%.

  • Conversely, office and retail sectors struggled, with office originations down 29% and retail down 7% year-over-year.

➥ THE TAKEAWAY

Looking ahead: Despite the gains, CRE borrowing and lending remain cautious, with the market heavily influenced by high interest rates and impending loan maturations. The potential for increased borrower activity hinges on future Federal Reserve rate cuts, though it's uncertain how impactful these cuts will be.
