Small banks have larger real estate exposure

Apr 5, 2023, 10:20 AM by Matt Mowell
Recent trouble at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank – while unique to those institutions – has focused attention on risks associated with small U.S. banks, particularly their commercial real estate exposure.

Today, according to the Federal Reserve, commercial real estate loans comprise 43% of smaller banks’ assets, much of it in multifamily, which still has relatively healthy fundamentals. While CMBS is the largest source of office sector debt maturing in the next two years, regional banks also have considerable exposure. Encouragingly, deals were underwritten at more conservative LTVs than in the years before the Global Financial Crisis, and valuations have grown significantly over the past decade— up 42% for multifamily and 14% for office. This provides some cushion for regional banks amid higher cap rates.

Regardless, credit markets have tightened and debt capital will be harder to come by and more expensive for commercial real estate investors. The tight credit conditions could cause the economic slowdown that the Fed has been trying to induce, aiding the efforts to suppress inflation. This could allow the Fed to ease monetary policy sooner than expected and set the real estate capital markets up for a rebound later this year.
