Fed Hikes Could Hit Values<\/strong>: The Federal Reserve\u2019s latest three-quarter bump in the borrowing rate is going to bring pain to commercial real estate values, according to new analysis by Alan Todd, commercial mortgage-backed securities strategist for Bank of America Securities. \u201cWe think commercial real estate values could adjust by as much as 20% to 30% over the medium term,\u201d Todd wrote.<\/p>

To calculate the impact higher interest rates could have on a property’s value, BofA Securities originated a hypothetical loan on a $50 million property using a borrowing rate that was prevalent two years ago. It sized the loan to a 60% loan-to-value ratio and a 1.45 times debt service coverage ratio. The ratio indicates that for every dollar of annual loan repayment, the borrower is bringing in $1.45 in net operating income \u2014 giving it more than enough return to make payments on the loan.<\/p>

With all parameters constant, BofA then increased the loan’s borrowing rate to today’s prevailing rate of approximately 6.35%. The analysis found that the hypothetical property’s metrics were only able to support a $38.3 million valuation, or down 23%. If it simultaneously decreased net operating income by 5%, the value fell to $36.7 million, or down 27%.<\/p>

\u201cThis is an admittedly tough example and depending on the asset in question and its expected fundamentals, price changes could be greater or lower than we show,\u201d Todd wrote. \u201cRegardless, we think commercial real estate prices will be unable to sustain their current levels and will fall over the coming year.\u201d<\/p>

The obvious \u2014 and potentially only \u2014 way to mitigate a steep value drop would be for the Fed to do an about-face, Todd added.<\/p>

\u201cWe think [this] is unlikely given how vociferously they’ve recently drawn their \u2018line in the sand\u2019 with respect to combatting inflation,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>

Special Servicing Rate Notches First Increase in Two Years<\/strong>: The number of CMBS loans in special servicing rose 0.12% in August to 4.92% \u2014 the first increase following 22 consecutive monthly declines, according to the latest analysis by the CRE Finance Council. If a CMBS loan goes into default, servicing of that loan will generally be switched to a special servicer, which will work to determine if the borrower can become current through a debt workout or loan modification.<\/p>

While the special servicing rate remains well below its high of 10.48% in September 2020, the height of the pandemic, higher borrowing rates and the real risk of an economic slowdown suggest asset valuations may be on the decline, according to CREFC analysts.<\/p>

Loans on retail and multifamily properties drove the special servicing increase, rising 1.14% for retail loans and 0.67% for multifamily. All other property types saw decreases.<\/p>

The current tally of specially serviced loans is approximately $31 billion, compared to about $14 billion at year-end 2019, before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>

\u201cWhile too early to declare a trend, the uptick in August special serving rate may reflect the challenges of refinancing loans in the current rate and economic environment,\u201d CREFC analysts wrote. \u201cWe anticipate some increase in loans transferred to special servicing in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lenders foreclosed on the Greenbrier Mall in Chesapeake, Virginia. (CoStar)<\/p>

CBL Properties Loses Virginia Mall<\/strong>: After\u00a0losing management control\u00a0of the\u00a0Greenbrier Mall\u00a0in Chesapeake, Virginia, to a receiver last spring, CBL Properties has now lost ownership of the property as well.<\/p>

The CMBS loan holder on the roughly 563,000-square-foot enclosed shopping center has foreclosed on the property, according to CoStar loan data. The foreclosure price was not disclosed.<\/p>

The loan held in CMBS deal LBUBS 2006-C6 had an outstanding balance of $61.65 million. CBL had failed to pay off the loan when it matured December 2019, according to CoStar loan data.<\/p>

The outstanding loan amount was well above the mall’s last appraised value of $42.5 million, taken in April.<\/p>

The property, built in 1981, is anchored by J.C. Penney, Macy’s and Dillard’s. It also houses the site of a former Sears. As of the second quarter, the mall was approximately 70% occupied. The strategy is to stabilize the property by renewing tenants with near-term lease expirations and leasing vacant space, according to CMBS loan data.<\/p>

CBL Properties did not immediately respond to a request for more information.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
