CMBS Loan Prices Fell in August: DebtX

Loans that underlie commercial mortgage-backed securities fell in price from July to August, according to DebtX.

DebtX priced $872 billion in commercial real estate loans that collateralize U.S. CMBS trusts, through the end of August. Those loans fell in price to 98.2%, compared to 99.1% at the end of July. The figure for August 2014 was 96%.

The price drop was "due mostly to a slight upward shift in the treasury yield curve," Will Mercer, managing director, said in a news release.

The median adjusted loan-to-value ratio remained at 57% in August, the same figure as in July. The median debt service coverage ratio remained at 1.45.
