CMBS Delinquencies Surge To $42 Billion, Or 5.2% Of Total; Average Loss Severity Hits All Time High Of 52.7%

Tyler Durden's picture




The most disturbing observation from this month's RealPoint CMBS analysis, aside from the surge in delinquencies to an all time high of $42 billion, is that the average loss severity on CMBS liquidation has just hit a record of 52.7%. That means that on average less than half the loan is recovered in liquidation. Surely, this is not the kind of news that REITs are looking for as they perch from atop 52 week highs.

More from RealPoint:

In December 2009, the delinquent unpaid balance for CMBS increased by another $3.7 billion up to $41.64 billion from $37.93 billion a month prior. This includes the $4.1 billion Extended Stay Hotel loan from the WBC07ESH transaction. Pursuant to an amended cash management agreement, all excess funds are being held in a reserve account while the master servicer is only passing through what is deemed recoverable. Realpoint expects the delinquency reporting for this loan to continue in the nearterm, accompanied by new delinquency from other large watchlisted assets where borrowers have begun asking for debt relief and loan restructuring (such as the $3 billion Peter Cooper Village / Stuyvesant Town loan spread through multiple CMBS deals via pari passu structure, which may soon be delinquent).

Otherwise, the overall delinquent unpaid balance is up 380% from one-year ago (when only $8.68 billion of delinquent balance was reported for December 2008), and is now over 18 times the low point of $2.21 billion in March 2007. An increase in four of the five delinquent loan categories was noted in December (30-day category decline), while the distressed 90+-day, Foreclosure and REO categories grew in aggregate for the 24th straight month – up by another $2.53 billion (11%) from the previous month and over $21.52 billion (475%) in the past year (up from only $4.53 billion in December 2008).

The total unpaid balance for CMBS pools reviewed by Realpoint for the December 2009 remittance was $797.18 billion, down from $806.11 billion in November. Both the delinquent unpaid balance and delinquency percentage over the trailing twelve months are shown in Charts 1 and 2 below, clearly trending upward. The resultant delinquency ratio for December 2009 of 5.22% (up from the 4.71% reported one month prior) is over five times the 1.025% reported one-year prior in December 2008 and 18 times the Realpoint recorded low point of 0.283% from June 2007. The increase in both delinquent unpaid balance and ratio over this time horizon reflects a steady increase from historic lows in mid-2007.

And RealPoint's short-term forecast:

  • Over the past three months, delinquency growth by unpaid balance has averaged roughly $3.3 billion per month. Assuming ongoing monthly pay-down and liquidation activity, if such delinquency average were increased by an additional 25% growth rate, and then carried through the first quarter 2010, the delinquent unpaid balance would reach $54 billion and reflect a delinquency percentage slightly above 6.8% by March 2010. Carried through mid-2010,the delinquent unpaid balance would top $66 billion and reflect a delinquency percentage above 8.5% by June 2010.
  • In addition to this growth scenario, if we again add-in the potential default of the $3 billion Peter Cooper Village / Stuyvesant Town loan, the delinquent unpaid balance would reach $57billion and reflect a delinquency percentage above 7.2% by March 2010. Carried through mid-2010, the delinquent unpaid balance would top $69.4 billion and reflect a delinquency percentage close to 9% by June 2010.

Not a problem.  Green shoot.  Buy, buy, buy.  Leverage it up, boyz.

Funny how you mention that. Leverage got us into this mess. Yet the rulings reversing the permission for 30-1+ leverage has yet to be reversed.

 

Years ago I coined a phrase "reverse leverage is a bitch."

 

That dog is about to take another bite out of the bull and the bullshitters once again.

6:34 P.M. — Federal regulators shut down Immokalee-based Florida Community Bank today and dealt most of its deposits and assets to a Miami bank chartered last week.

Branches will reopen as locations of Premier American Bank but will continue to conduct business under the name Florida Community Bank.


Florida Community Bank had 11 branches and $774.6 million in deposits as of Sept. 30, the most recent information available.

The bank, founded in 1923, had been hard hit by the foreclosure crisis in Florida. The bank had $191.3 million in bad debt as of Sept. 30.

That dog deserved to die ages ago. Imagine giving 'mater pickers from Mehico with no proof of citizenship $150K mortgages for homes.

Ooops, was I supposed to say that?

Imagine giving waspy Princeton grads (with proof of citizenship) working in Manhattan an $8.5 million mortgage in East Hampton that they can't afford.  Hamptons mortgage defaults on white U.S. citizens up 230% over last year.

if your not racist it's 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of another, but if you are a racist, its always the non-white poor people that screwed everything up and are more morally corrupt than everyone else, just like poor black folks supposedly controlled the drug trade, were drug king pins and white, rich people never used or sold drugs (whatever)...

 and now illegal immigrant farm workers conspired to take down our financial system with their wily con on unsuspecting, honest banksters who were so reluctant to provide them loans and resell them for fabulous profit but were dazzled by brilliant promises of these evil con men farm workers that preyed on the bank's earnest charitable desire to provide said farm workers with first class housing regardless of economic harm that might come to bank shareholders (not)...

as usual, morally corrupt poor people did the dangerous street, dirty work in the fraud and theft while morally corrupt rich people made most of the money in less risky, higher level white collar crime syndicates, while most morally decent poor and middle class people were just prey and victims of such financial pushers.

Your supposed to say it if you have any evidence that its true.  In fact, it was fairly difficult for undocumented workers (aka illegal immigrants) to get mortgages because they were not securitizable.  In fact those that have been originated perform much better than average because they were underwritten much more conservatively than those to white people with NO PROOF OF INCOME, which actually turned out to be a better default indicator.

The "Miami bank" is Premier American Bank, which was acquired last week by the Bond Street Bank (per Wall Street Journal), which is a subsidiary of Bond Street Holdings, New York City .. "formed to acquire FDIC insured assets" ... anybody know who they are?

SRS = corrupt.

 

CRE vacancy rates could rise to 95% and SRS would still be in single digits.

CMBS's are living up to their explosive promise. Where's that bullshitter Kiyosaki and his advise 2 years ago to go buy up all the rental properties around since people always needed a place to live. He was right about that except all the mothers basements were not up for sale.

yeah, no one could have predicted people would double up when they were strapped. We will need oil and we will need shelter, but why someone thinks that means the price of housing or oil will never drop, even after a record run-up in price is beyond me. No one could have predicted high oil prices would slow global economy and speed energy conservation and exploration for other energy sources and reduce deman eventually... and no one could have predicted people would double up, take in roomers, go to tent and RV cities ..nothing like that ever happened before...arrrg these people are so stupid, they think something is true just cause they said it, in the face of all evidence otherwise.
