When it comes to gauging the size of the commercial mortgage-backed securities market this year, readers of Real Estate Forum are solidly in the mainstream. A survey of CRE Finance Council members in January found that 70 percent expect CMBS originations to increase about 25 percent this year from 2014′s tally of $90.7 billion, totaling between $101 billion and $125 billion.

Forum readers are only slightly less bullish, with 60 percent expecting CMBS volume to exceed $100 billion in 2015, including 11 percent who predict we’ll see it go north of $125 billion. Readers’ outlook on the capital markets—from CMBS to the availability and attractiveness of debt financing sources—will be the focal point of a feature in the April issue of the magazine.
