Commercial and multifamily mortgage originations are expected to close out 2018 at roughly the same level seen in 2017, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

MBA projects that commercial and multifamily mortgage origination totals will hit $532 billion, just over last year’s record volume of $530 billion. Multifamily mortgage originations are expected to increase 7% this year to $251 billion, and originations of multifamily mortgages are expected to rise 2% in 2019..

“Commercial real estate finance markets are on pace to match last year’s record volumes of borrowing and lending,” according to Jamie Woodwell, MBA’s vice president of commercial real estate research. “Property incomes and values continue to grow, albeit at slower paces than previous years, and the amount of capital looking to be placed in real estate and debt remains robust. We anticipate that much of the momentum seen this year will carry on into 2019.”
