Commercial Market Is Looking Up

Despite the rising number of defaults, the commercial real estate market is improving.

Prices are up. Commercial real estate values have risen 6 percent in recent months, according to Real Capital Analytics.

Nearly $14 billion in loans were modified in the last six months.

Investors also have been aggressively buying commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Research firm Trepp predicts that $25 billion in CMBS will be issued in 2010.
