CMBS activity has flourished in the past few weeks with more than $6.5 billion in new securitization coming to market. In addition, Freddie Mac brought two multifamily-backed offerings totaling $1.86 billion to market.
The activity in February alone is almost two-thirds of all CMBS deals offered last year – and for some is reminiscent of 2007 when commercial mortgage-backed securities offerings were at their peak, which has the commercial real estate market bullish and fretful at the same time.
