The impact of Silicon Valley Bank's downfall on Commercial Real Estate
The recent bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has raised concerns about the health of the real estate market and the banking sector as a whole.
The commercial mortgage-backed securities market has significantly dropped, making it challenging to reduce risk for investors. As a result, the monitoring of CRE loans is crucial in ensuring the stability of the financial system. However, there has been a warning about the CRE risk for months, and some experts have speculated that this could lead to a recession.
Peter Boockvar, Chief Investment Officer of Bleakley Financial Group LLC, has given guidance on how the current interest rate hike could affect real estate investors. For example, an investor who paid $50 million for an apartment in 2020 and took out a three-year loan for 70% of the property's value might have to face refinancing this year with interest rates above 7%. This would push annual interest expenses to about $2.63 million, leaving only about $400,000 for all other expenses. The rise in interest rates could lead to more properties being sold at lower prices and an increased risk of loss for lenders.
The market has already seen a decline in CRE prices, along with tightening standards. However, this may have come too late, as standards had already been relaxed considerably in the wake of the pandemic. This situation raises the question of whether the current situation for CRE parallels the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, where a flurry of loans and real estate investments led to a recession.
There cannot be a healthy economy without a healthy banking system. The crisis at SVB has exposed the real situation, and it is imperative to monitor the CRE loans and standards to ensure the stability of the financial system. Banks need to take more precautions and reduce risk to prevent another recession from happening.
