Abstract

This paper develops a model of the market for commercial real estate loans based on the variables used by investors and lenders in property decision‐making: the income capitalization (cap) rate, the debt‐coverage ratio and the loan‐to‐value ratio. Empirical results for aggregate United States real estate originations and commitments for 1970–93 indicate that loan demand is sensitive to the cap rate and to building permit issuance. The dominant criterion used by lenders is the debt‐coverage ratio as opposed to the loan‐to‐value ratio, a finding which may have implications for underwriting standards and credit policy.
