14% of all commercial real estate (CRE) loans and 44% of office building loans are now in "negative equity."
Currently, US banks hold over $2.9 trillion of CRE debt, the majority of which is held by regional banks.
Office building prices are down 40% from their highs and CRE as a whole is down over 20%.
All as rates rise and many of these loans are due to be refinanced.
