DBRS Morningstar CMBS Monthly Highlights—February Remittance: Delinquency and Special Servicing Rates Jump

-- The delinquency rate for loans packaged in U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) jumped 24 basis points (bps) to 3.07%, the largest monthly increase since the summer of 2020.
-- Office-backed loans saw the largest delinquency rate increase, rising 63 bps, followed by multifamily with a 32-bp increase.
-- Compared with year-ago levels, the hotel sector saw the largest percentage decline in the delinquency rate, falling 320 bps, followed by retail with a decline of 71 bps.
-- The special servicing rate rose for the first time in three months and now sits 74 bps above its July 2022 low.
-- Compared with year-ago levels, the office sector saw the largest increase in the special servicing rate, rising 140 bps, followed by multifamily with an increase of 108 bps.
-- Distressed property sales remained muted, registering just $224.8 million, posting a 12-month average of only about $255 million.
-- The maturity payoff rate rose moderately to 66.9%, up from 60.2% in January.
-- The year-to-date maturity payoff rate stands at 63.0%, and our 2023 outlook for the maturity payoff rate isn't much changed at roughly 60% because of persistent complications that will continue to challenge refinancing maturing office and mall loans.
