Banking Analytics: Banks Record Uptick in Unfunded CRE Commitments

As of Sept. 30, 2025, U.S. banks have reversed a nine-quarter decline in unfunded commercial real estate (CRE) commitments with a second quarter of growth. Unfunded commitments represent the off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to the remaining dollar amount borrowers can borrow under a loan agreement that is expected to be funded in the future. For example, a borrower has a commercial construction loan agreement allowing them to borrow up to $1 million with a current borrowed balance of $200,000; the remaining $800,000 would represent the unfunded commitment.
