FDIC’s take on Nevada
The FDIC has released its Spring 2006 State Profiles. In terms of overall commercial real estate (CRE), Nevada still ranks first nationally in commercial real estate loans at 23.6%. Construction and development (C&D) portfolios grew at 48.8%, the fourth highest in the country, and the fastest growing loan type for Nevada institutions. Additionally, Nevada institutions reported the second highest CRE loan concentrations in the nation. Strong economic conditions continue to bolster CRE conditions; in particular, Las Vegas’s office and industrial markets reported relatively low and declining vacancy rates and increasing rents.
