“The amount of commercial and multifamily mortgage debt outstanding increased during the third quarter, driven almost entirely by a large increase in the portfolio holdings of banks and other depositories. The increase in bank holdings was the largest quarterly increase of any individual capital source in the history of MBA’s series.
