2025 CMBS Delinquency Rates
Trepp's monthly update. Read the report here.
The Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate rose again in April 2025, with the overall rate increasing 38 basis points to 7.03 percent.
In April, the overall delinquent balance was $41.9 billion, up from $39.3 billion in March.
The office sector experienced a significant jump, with office delinquency rising 52 basis points to 10.28 percent. The office rate had been decreasing for the past three months after hitting a record high of 11.01 percent in December 2024. The only property type to experience relief was retail, with that rate dropping 70 basis points to 7.12 percent. The less volatile industrial rate also declined, down 10 basis points to 0.50 percent.
If we were to include loans that are beyond their maturity date but current on interest, the delinquency rate would be 8.37 percent, unchanged from March. The percentage of loans in the 30 days delinquent bucket is 0.49 percent, up 16 basis points from March.
Our numbers assume defeased loans are still part of the denominator, unless otherwise specified.

The Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate ticked back up in March, with the overall delinquency rate increasing 35 basis points to 6.65 percent.
In March, the overall delinquent balance was $39.3 billion, up from $36.0 billion in February.
Prior to this month, the overall rate had fallen for two consecutive months; it is now back up near its four-year high. One driver of the increase was the multifamily sector, which is up 98 basis points in March to 5.44 percent. The multifamily rate has now climbed 360 basis points over the past year, from 1.84 percent to its current level—the highest the rate has been since December 2015, when it stood at 8.28 percent.
Another property type to experience material change was the lodging sector, with that rate jumping 76 basis points to 7.19 percent. Both the industrial and retail delinquency rates were up moderately, increasing 26 basis points and 33 basis points, respectively.
