Multifamily Lending Dips, Shareholders Triumph, and Mortgage Rates Climb

In 2022, multifamily lenders provided $480.1 billion in new mortgages for apartment buildings with five or more units, marking a 1% decrease from 2021, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) annual report. Despite the challenges faced by the lending industries last year, the multifamily lending market remained robust.

Multifamily continues to be strong nationwide and prime rate returns to pre-2008 levels

The fourth quarter of 2022 saw a decrease in commercial lending activity, largely due to rising interest rates and an effort by the Federal Reserve to slow inflation. Data shows that the volume of new loans dropped substantially compared to the same time period in 2021, with debt funds and mortgage REITs experiencing particularly pronounced declines as a percentage of total loan closings.

Healthcare construction is leading a boom and cannabis businesses represent a new niche market

The construction sector of the healthcare industry is booming and has never been more critical. With the rising demand for in-patient hospitals, nursing facilities, and medical labs, the need for new construction is growing rapidly. The aging baby boomer generation is driving much of this demand as they strain already outdated and over-burdened facilities, necessitating additional construction.

We still have a housing crisis in this country, and with mortgage rates ticking up, fewer people can afford to buy. This has led to high demand for rental housing and insufficient inventory. And, with many construction projects having been temporarily halted in the wake of the pandemic, completion of new rental units – though still near historic highs – has been lower in the past few years than anticipated.

Interest rates falling and government backing home loans over $1M

Speculation has been rampant over the past several months about how high the Federal Reserve will push interest rates in an effort to curb inflation. And while interest rates continue to be pushed higher, mortgage rates have lately fallen slightly, raising the number of mortgage applications in recent weeks.
