As of December,

In December 2013, 7.43 percent of securitized commercial real estate loans were delinquent.
Last month’s biggest improvement was made on securitized lodging loans, with the 30-day rate falling 20 basis points from November to 4.77 percent.
A 13-basis-point decline left the office property loan delinquency rate at 6.08 percent.
At 5.66 percent in December, delinquency on retail property loans was off a basis point from a month earlier.
The past-due rate on multifamily loans crept up 2 BPS to 8.85 percent.
