Additionally, 61 percent of loans due in 2027 originated before 2020. For context, Atlanta is the metro with the highest percentage of maturing loans, at 50.5 percent and valued at over $11 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As office demand and incomes dropped after Covid, these office properties\u2019 values also fell, leaving owners with few options for securing new financing. Borrowers and lenders are likely to reconsider their options for some of these assets, especially with the CMBS delinquency rate rising to 11.1 percent in June, pushing lenders to be hesitant in approving loan extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Office sales totaled $23 billion as of June, with properties changing ownership at $189 per square foot. Office average sale prices held steady but properties still traded at considerable price cuts. Combined with the rise in maturities, discount deals are set to increase while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/office-conversions-demolitions-outpace-new-construction\/\">office-to-residential conversions<\/a> may become the preferred choice for owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cmbs-delinquency-rates\/\">2025 CMBS Delinquency Rates<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The national office vacancy rate stood at 19.4 percent as of June\u2014unchanged from the previous month and marking a 130-basis-point increase from the same time in 2024. High vacancies continue to hit almost all markets, with Austin (500 basis points), Detroit (460 basis points) and the Bay Area (420 basis points) experiencing the most significant increases year-over-year. However, there are some office markets highlighting a few signs of optimism. Manhattan is one of them, with a vacancy rate of 15.2 percent, representing a 130-basis-point decrease. Miami followed with a 14.3 percent rate\u2014the lowest figure across the top 25 U.S. office markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>National in-place rents averaged $32.87 per square foot in June, 28 cents down from the previous month and representing a 3.8 percent year-over-year increase. Some of the markets with the highest jumps in average in-place rents were Phoenix (4.3 percent) and Washington, D.C. (3.9 percent), while Houston recorded a 4.5 percent year-over-year decline in rents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-development-diminishes-as-construction-starts-crumble\">Development diminishes as construction starts crumble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The national office under-construction pipeline comprised 40.9 million square feet as of June, representing 0.6 percent of stock. With demand for office space falling, construction starts included only 6.5 million square feet during the first half of 2025\u2014an unprecedented low level when compared to previous years and a potential indicator of a lasting shift in office development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-term effects of the pandemic spread to the life sciences sector too. With a boom in development in recent years, the sector is now struggling with oversupply  as owners with big properties now completed have trouble finding tenants. A market where this effect is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/whats-making-san-diego-a-top-tier-office-market\/\">evident is San Diego<\/a>, where lab space vacancies are expected to rise as the metro has two thirds of its active pipeline in the life science sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/publications\/download\/file\/7515-MatrixOfficeNationalReport-July2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yardi Matrix office report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s what\u2019s throwing the sector off balance, according to the latest Yardi Matrix report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2991,"featured_media":1004766566,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22251,23891,21747,52555,41267],"tags":[32785],"class_list":["post-1004766538","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-focus","category-national","category-office","category-yardimatrix-office-reports","category-yardimatrix-reports","tag-yardi-matrix"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
