The delinquency rate in September improved for the third consecutive month, easing eight basis points to 2.9 percent, as the delinquent unpaid balance dropped nearly 1 percent, while the balance of the universe of securitized commercial mortgages rose to a seven-month high of $770.4 billion. The CMBS delinquent unpaid balance sunk to a 16-month low of $22.65 billion, down $211 million from the prior month, and down $446 million, or $1.9 percent, from the year-earlier period. While legacy CMBS now accounts for less than 7 percent of the CMBS universe, delinquencies from deals issued before 2010 represent 91.6 percent of all delinquencies by balance.
