🔎Trepp identified $76.6 billion of CMBS hard maturities scheduled for 2026 at the start of the year, up from roughly $44 billion in 2025 and $38 billion in 2024.
A hard maturity is a loan with no remaining extension options. At maturity, the borrower must refinance, pay off the loan, or negotiate a resolution.
Our latest June data shows a cohort totaling $2.57 billion across 78 loans. While only 6.7% of the balance is currently non-performing, several large loans exhibit elevated refinance risk.
The key question isn't how much debt is maturing; it's how much can refinance.

🏘️Multifamily continues to be one of the most debated sectors in CRE, especially as investors weigh newer vintage assets against older properties facing rising operational and capital expenditure pressures.
During Trepp Connect (in NYC)’s "Bifurcation & Recovery: CRE Property Sector Realities" panel, @TenenbaumCRE (@CushWakeUS) shared why investor demand has continued to gravitate toward newer multifamily assets, particularly those trading below replacement cost and requiring less near-term CapEx investment.
In this clip, Sam explains why today’s pricing dynamics are less about a “bubble” and more about how investors are evaluating value, operational risk, and long-term fundamentals across an increasingly bifurcated multifamily market.
🆕 The Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate decreased by 1 basis point to 7.54% in April 2026.
