About
Commercial real estate faces a significant challenge as a $1.5 trillion "Wall of Debt" is set to mature by the end of 2025. These loans, taken out in a low-interest rate environment, now face higher rates. Meanwhile, office vacancy rates have surged due to the transition to remote work. This double squeeze may lead to a spike in defaults, posing risks to the broader economy. Delinquencies reached 8.94% in 2010 after the 2007-08 financial crisis and 12.08% in 1991 after the 1980s real estate overbuild. As of Q4 2023, delinquencies are low, around 1.1%.
