A live 90-minute premium CLE video webinar with interactive Q&A.
This CLE webinar--hosted by Strafford, a BARBRI company--will explore the current commercial real estate (CRE) market and how lenders are handling performing or non-performing loans in light of pending and upcoming market turbulence. The panel will also discuss adjustments to existing transactions now and new provisions to explore in loan agreements going forward.
Description
Real estate finance industry trade groups have reported an overall increase in CRE lending in 2025. Despite this positive momentum, there is still a great deal of distress and rising delinquencies in various sectors of the market. Because of a large number of maturities coming due for both balance sheet and conduit loans in the coming months, the current CRE lending landscape is becoming extremely challenging for both borrowers and lenders.
To offset the potential of a CRE crash and to stave off defaults, banks may consider offering borrowers loan extensions and modifications, selling derivatives to fix interest costs, and offering subsidized loans to investors to purchase defaulted loans.
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses the impact of the current CRE market on existing and future real estate finance transactions and steps lenders can take now to mitigate defaults and near-term losses on current and future loans.
