While the initial impact of the pandemic was especially severe in top-tier metropolitan areas, many secondary markets saw a similar fate. But how have the regions recovered since then? In this report, Trepp analyzed the performance of 21 secondary metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), creating a list of the top 10 areas for CRE investment.

'This year, the initial impacts of COVID-19 were incredibly present in the data. Rather than ignoring the widespread downturns or weighing the extraordinary event as the end-all, be-all for CRE investment potential, we used Trepp data to create a holistic view of the metro areas,' said Maximillian Nelson, report author and Trepp Research Analyst.

San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA ranked first in Trepps report, ahead of the Las Vegas and Sacramento MSAs. The three metro areas topped the list after placing highly in both historical and present categories. Specifically, these regions all had high levels of Outstanding Volume Growth (OVG %) dating back to 2017, while also reporting low delinquency and special servicing rates along with strong weighted average debt-service coverage ratios (DSCR).

Trepp called upon seven data variables to complete the rankings, giving each an equal weighting. In addition to key data such as employment numbers and population growth, Trepp used the following criteria from their own commercial loan database to tabulate their rankings:

? New CMBS issuance in the region ? The average debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) level weighted by each loans outstanding balance. ? The percentage of delinquent loans and loans in special servicing ? And more.
