Freddie Mac Issuers:  Our Mid-Year Rankings

0

Building upon our new issuances and loan volumes projections in last week’s research, our team dug a bit deeper with a focus on the Freddie Mac ecosystem.  We wanted to understand the firms behind the new issuances that have hit the market in 2025 YTD. 

It has been a robust year of growth thus far for the agency sectors.  Freddie and Fannie are projected to add ~$9 billion and ~$10 billion respectively this year vs 2024. 

Freddie Mac enjoyed the lowest average interest rate (5.71%) out of all securitized lending sectors so far this year, so we thought that would be the ideal place to start.  

Freddie Mac Issuers:  Mid-Year Rankings

Berkadia Commercial Mortgage takes the top spot with just over $1billion in new issuances thus far in 2025.  JLL Real Estate Capital issued $922.5 million in Freddie Mac Multifamily loans –enough to secure second place in our mid-year rankings. 

Not far behind in third place was CBRE Capital Markets with $882.9 million in new Freddie issues in 2025 YTD.  Newmark and JP Morgan Chase Bank round out the top five with $684.6 million and $472.8 million respectively.

MSA Perspective

It is a tight race for first place between Dallas and New York City metros, with Dallas inching its way to the top spot with $1.63 billion in 2025 YTD Freddie loan balances. The New York metro is right behind Dallas with $1.56 billion.  

The Atlanta metro saw $1.34 billion originations so far this year and are currently in solid control of third place.  Los Angeles and Phoenix rounded out the top 5 with $976.0 million and $918.4 million respectively.

 Sub Property Type

Garden style apartments dominated all other property types with 70.1% of all new issuances collateralized with assets in this category.  Mid-rise at 11.4% was a distant second and high rise rounds out the top 3 at 5%.

New Issuances and Loan Volumes Projected to Exceed 2024 Levels

0

As we have crossed the midpoint of 2025, the CRED iQ research team focused upon the new issuance volumes across the securitized and agency ecosystems.  We wanted to understand 2025 YTD volumes for each deal type, and then projected full year metrics which we can compare to 2024 levels. 

Our analysis covered the CMBS Conduit, CRE CLO, SBLL, Freddie and Fannie Mae loan volumes.  Our projections indicate increased volumes in every category when compared to 2024.  

Projected Issuance Volumes and comparison to 2024

CMBS Conduit                              $35 billion  (versus $32.98B in 2024)

CRE CLO                                      $32.5 billion (versus $8.7B in 2024)

SBLL                                            $90 billion (versus $70.5B in 2024)

Freddie Mac                                  $65 billion (versus $56.2B in 2024)

FannieMae                                    $65 billion (versus $55B in 2024)

CRE CLO loans are projected to notch the largest gains compared to 2024 –nearly quadrupling 2024 volumes.   SBLL is forecasted to issue ~$19.5 billion more loans than in 2024 –landing in second place.  Freddie and Fannie are projected to add ~$9 billion and $10 billion respectively vs 2024. Conduit loans expected to add ~$2 billion more in issuances.

Interest Rate Averages

Interest rate averages varied by loan type for the first six months of 2025:

CMBS Conduit                              6.63%

CRE CLO                                      7.62%

SBLL                                            8.30%

Freddie Mac                                  5.71%

FannieMae                                    5.74%

CRE CLO Distress Rate Drops 230 Basis Points in June

0

The commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation (CRE CLO) market is experiencing a turbulent 2025, with distress and delinquency rates reflecting the challenges of a shifting economic landscape. According to CRED iQ’s June 2025 CRE CLO Distress Report, the distress rate—encompassing loans 30+ days delinquent, past maturity, or in special servicing—dropped significantly by 230 basis points (BPS) to 10.9% from 13.2% in May. This follows a volatile pattern, with an 80 BPS rise in May and reductions in three of the past four months, leaving investors questioning the market’s long-term trajectory.

Delinquency rates, a critical indicator, fell 260 BPS to 8.4% in June, while the special servicing rate declined 40 BPS to 6.7%. These improvements are underpinned by a surge in current loans, with 20.9% ($1.4 billion) of CRE CLO loans current, up 660 BPS from $979.3 million in May. However, 59.3% of loans have surpassed their maturity dates, with 26.5% classified as “performing matured” (up from 14.4%) and 32.8% as “non-performing matured” (down from 50%). Pre-maturity delinquencies also eased to 17.7% from 19.1%.

This volatility stems from loans originated in 2021–2022, when low interest rates and high valuations fueled aggressive lending. These floating-rate, three-year loans are now hitting maturity walls in a high-rate environment, complicating refinancing. Borrowers are increasingly relying on extension options or month-to-month arrangements to avoid default, as seen in the case of Harmon at 370 Apartments in Las Vegas. This $91.4 million multifamily loan, with a $12.9 million future funding commitment, transitioned to performing matured status in June 2025 due failure to pay off at maturity.

Historical data from CRED iQ highlights the broader trend. Distress rates climbed from 8.6% in January 2024 to 15.1% in January 2025, driven by maturing loans and rising rates.

For investors and lenders, the CRE CLO market’s seesaw trends underscore the need for vigilance. Platforms like CRED iQ provide critical insights into loan performance, helping stakeholders navigate risks and seize opportunities in this resilient yet volatile market.

CMBS Distress Rate Trims 20 BPS, While Delinquencies Increase

0

The commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) distress rate shaved 20 basis points to 10.8% in June, according to CRED iQ’s latest analysis. The latest print, albeit modest, represents the fourth distress rate reduction in the past five months.  

The underlying metrics also saw decreases  as well. Our delinquency rate was reduced by 30 basis points to 8.1% and our special service rate shaved 10 BPS to 10.1%.

A blip on an otherwise positive distress trend, or a sign of more volatility to come.  Let’s dig unpack the data for answers.  

Distress Rate Trends

CRED iQ’s distress rate, a composite metric capturing loans 30+ days delinquent (or worse) and those in special servicing, came in at  10.8% in the latest reporting period.  This follows last month’s 70 BPS increase, which snapped a three-month trend of distress rate reductions.

The CRED iQ research team analyzed  the payment status of approximately $58  billion in distressed CMBS loans.   The core objective of our research was to achieve a clear view of the current state of payment status reasons and associated near-term trending.

Payment Terms

Our team then explored each payment status reason from a historical perspective. We wanted to understand the trending/evolution of each category dating back to February of 2024. Our team built a heat map which reveals trends for each category, to potential argument current forecasting models.

Current Loans:  $9.4 billion in loans were current in June –that is down by ~$1 billion from the May print  (17.9% to 16.2%)—partially offsetting the gain of ~$2.1 billion last month.

Delinquent Loans: $16.5 billion (28.3%) of loans are delinquent, including those within grace periods, up from $14.7 billion (25.3%) last month

Matured Loans: $32.4 billion in CMBS loans have passed their maturity date (largely flat from last month). Of these, 18.5% are performing (up from 18.1%), while 37.0% are non-performing (down from 38.6%).

Loan Highlight

The $463 million 5 Bryant Park loan, backed by a 682,988 SF office property in the Times Square South market failed to payoff at the adjusted June 2025 maturity. Originally slated to mature in June 2020, closing documents indicate the loan was subject to five 12-month extension options. The borrower has exercised all five extension periods. Year end 2024 financials reported a DSCR of 0.83 and 81% occupancy.

CRED iQ’s Methodology: A Comprehensive Approach

CRED iQ’s distress rate provides a holistic view of CMBS performance by combining delinquency (30+ days past due) and special servicing activity, including both performing and non-performing loans that fail to pay off at maturity. Our analysis focuses on conduit and single-borrower large loan structures, while separately tracking Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, and CRE CLO metrics. This granular approach ensures CRE professionals have a clear, actionable understanding of market dynamics.
