Capital Markets Continuing to Recover

Retail Traffic reports: While the overall volume of multifamily and commercial real estate lending is nowhere near what it was during the peak in 2007, capital flows are growing and borrowers and lenders are optimistic regarding 2012. Although lenders remain conservative, low interest rates keep buyers looking for financing.

According to data from Real Capital Analytics, total volume of commercial and multifamily sales rose 29% in 2011 to $162.8 billion. At the same time, data from the Mortgage Bankers Association shows their origination index hitting its highest point since 2007.

More than half of lenders and nearly half (44%) of borrowers are predicting more widely available credit in 2012.
