NEW YORK CITY—The once-ballyhooed, and dreaded, wall of CMBS maturities is continuing to crumble with less incident than originally expected. S&P Global Ratings said Friday that payoff rates were up in July, and August may continue in the same vein.
July payoffs reached 71% of maturities, starting the third quarter higher than the year-to-date average of 70.7% for the first six months, according to S&P. The month’s payoff rate was second in 2017 only to the 74.8% reached in January.
