There's been a big shift in commercial real estate lending.

"According to the Federal Reserve, in August large domestic banks saw their aggregate loan balances tighten for the first time since January 2022, and their loan balances have declined further over the first two weeks of September," wrote CoStar's national director of Capital Markets Analytics, Chad Littell, in a copy of a report sent to GlobeSt.com. "Commercial real estate loans at large banks fell 0.3% in the week ending Sept. 13, driven largely by nonresidential segments."

Data from the Fed for the week ending September 13, 2023, made it clear. Commercial real estate loans for all commercial banks were $2,941.8 billion, not seasonally adjusted. Several weeks before, on August 23, 2023, the amount was $2,941.6 billion. And in August 2022, the amount was $2,726.0 billion.
