parts of the commercial/multifamily real estate market continue to be felt. This analysis focuses on the overall state of
the economy and the resulting impacts on real estate fundamentals, mortgage originations, mortgage debt outstanding and mortgage
performance in the third quarter.
The Data Book compiles the most up-to-date information on topics of interest to commercial/multifamily real estate finance
industry participants and observers including trends in property sales, originations, delinquencies and mortgage debt outstanding.
