The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

San Jose's Filed Distress Eases, but the 2027 Wall Looms
San Jose carries $6.5 billion of CMBS across 94 loans, and the servicer-filed record is moving the right way. The metro's distress rate — loans in special servicing or 60-plus days delinquent — sits at 7.9% as of July 2026, down on a falling trend, with $0.5 billion of paper carrying that flag. Office dominates the book at $5.1 billion; the national office distress rate runs 11.1%, and the metro's modest $0.3 billion retail slice shows no filed distress against a 2.6% national mark. Median DSCR of 2.36 underscores a lender base that, at the portfolio level, still has cushion.
The pressure point is the calendar. Some $1.9 billion comes due inside 24 months, and the heaviest single-year load lands in 2027 at $1.3 billion. Behind it, $1.2 billion matures in 2030, $1.0 billion in 2031 and $0.8 billion in 2034 — the later vintages carrying no filed distress today. The near-term maturities are where refinancing math gets tested.
Beneath the filed figures, the on-the-ground record tells a harder story: 134 distress events over the past year — 115 layoff notices and 19 store closures — tied to 11,188 jobs. Unemployment stood at 4.3% in August 2026, down 0.4 points year over year. The gap between an easing servicer record and a still-active stream of layoff filings is the tension to watch in this metro.

How much CRE distress is there in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA right now?
In San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA, all four feeds read elevated: store closures came to 20 closures, or 1.93 per 100k jobs, layoff notices (WARN) totaled 127 notices at 1.01%, bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line stood at $3.04bn, or 10.84%, and securitized loans in special servicing amounted to 6 loan records at 7.79%. That gives 4 legs elevated out of four, with 6 pairs of legs compared all showing both legs elevated, 0 pairs with both legs quiet, 0 pairs where the legs disagree, and 0 pairs that cannot be read because a leg is blind. One caveat: the closures leg clears a flat count threshold while sitting below the median of its own rate ranking, so that signal reflects the metro's size rather than stress per unit of itself.

one metro, four independent feeds, each on its own denominator
124 of 447 metros have at least one blind leg and 54 are blind on all four. Those 54 are the same metros the board's map cannot place and the metro resolver cannot name: one ZIP-to-CBSA crosswalk boundary, showing up three ways.
Elevation is computed on the COUNT, over a flat threshold, which is a size filter. New York is 2nd of 392 by store closures and 264th of the same 392 by closures per job — both true, and which one you lead with decides what the reader believes.
Where two legs disagree, that is usually a fact about WHICH mechanism is running, not an error in either feed and not a worse metro.
A leg with no denominator, or whose numerator cannot be measured, reads LOW and means nothing. Each leg publishes a measurement state (allocated, floor, measured, no denominator, no rate, not measurable) for that reason.
elevated by size, not by rate — store closures clear a flat count threshold while sitting below the median of their own rate ranking. Any reading that leans on them is a statement about how big this metro is.
Store closures: divided by 1,034,002 jobs
— all metro jobs, QCEW annual average — a SIZE normaliser, not a matched population: the feed spans retail, food service and pharmacy and no single QCEW sector covers it. The MATCHED read sits beside it as this leg's second reading (trailing 365 days to today).
Layoff notices (WARN): divided by 1,023,281 employed
— employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $28,038.8 mm

Securitized loans in special servicing: divided by $6,521.0 mm

Which distress signals are elevated in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA, and which cannot be read?
In San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA, the elevated distress signals are bank distressed CRE, where distressed lender CRE stands at $3.04bn and bank CRE at risk at the 90th percentile at 8.5%, alongside CMBS in special servicing at $508.0mm, equal to 7.8% of this metro's CMBS balance in special servicing, plus store closures and WARN notices; the phase reads as peak, with convergence of 4. The bank-side asset read shows assets at those lenders of $0.00bn, and bank CRE lent into this metro of $28.04bn against a share of bank CRE needing no branch-deposit allocation of 3.8%. CMBS in special servicing is the one credit figure stated in dollar terms only, so the reading of any other CMBS dollar measure is unavailable.

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing.
This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent;
office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two.
That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Monthly metro unemployment (BLS LAUS) — the freshest labor signal there is,
about six weeks behind. Read the direction, not the level: a 4% metro that is rising and a 6% metro that is
falling are not telling you the same thing.
Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 1,034,002 jobs in the metro).
QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose.
Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for
disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means
“suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”
Sector Heat — CMBS distress rate by property type (metro vs national)See the loans behind the bar →
This metro's CMBS runs 7.8% distressed where its own property mix predicts 10.2% — $156M less than this book would carry at the rate each property type runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted and excluding this metro. The gap is measured; the cause is not. 0 of 1 property types here run a higher distress rate than the national average for that type (the tick on each bar).
Elimination — does the gap survive a control?
Each row re-prices this metro's book on a finer cell — its own property types, then those types split by loan size, then by vintage — always at the rate that cell runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted. A gap that shrinks toward zero is explained by the control; one that stays has ruled it out. What is measured is what survives, not a cause.

Realized distress is FALLING — 7.9% now (2026-07), -2.5pp over the year.
Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn
down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs
— every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks
have $227M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $134M
comes out of the room above, leaving $455M,
with 9 banks
whose entire remaining room is spoken for.
A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net
across balance sheets — so $94M of what has
been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s
capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws.
SR 07-1 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
2 more cross it

The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 07-1 draws its
300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on.
Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on
its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and
still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches
national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local
bank sector could absorb if it were the only door.
Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2026) — a proxy for
where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held
(SR 07-1, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share.
Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 —
the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show.
Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded —

Banks are matched to their HQ metro (a proxy for footprint). Noncurrent CRE = CRE-balance-weighted blend of multifamily / nonresidential / construction noncurrent (distress already arrived). Early Warning is a validated leading signal — the bank’s 30-89 early-delinquency rank among all CRE lenders this quarter, which has predicted ~2.3× forward CRE distress. Per-bank flags are on a plan.
Do the banks lending in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara carries a tight capacity band: the CMBS maturing in the window is $1.86bn across 24 loans, against local bank room, after those draws, of $455.3mm, giving a Wall-to-room ratio of 4.09, which ranks 20 out of 275 metros ranked counting from the most strained. That ratio sits at 3.16 before committed draws, when room, before committed draws, was $588.8mm, and committed construction draws of $227.1mm absorb the difference. The comparison is qualified by the fact that 21 qualifying local banks are counted while 11 are excluded from the calculation, and the pipeline itself is modest relative to the metro's total CMBS balance here of $6.52bn, with a distressed share of this metro's CMBS of 7.8%. On these figures local banks look strained relative to the maturing wall, though the reading reflects a deposit-footprint proxy rather than a measured lending relationship.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of
0.24 across the ranked metros.
4.09 is ABOVE the median of 0.24, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
20 of 275, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
Room is what regional and community banks could still write before the SR 06-26 concentration line, after deducting construction draws already committed. Deposit footprint is a proxy for lending footprint, not a measurement of it.
The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros.
The wall is the CMBS balance maturing within 24 months — the maturing debt this platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load. Every ratio is an upper bound on how much of it local banks would have to absorb.
A high ratio is as often an exclusion artifact as a credit event. Banks whose deposits do not indicate where they lend (nationals, card and charter banks) are excluded from the room, so a metro served mainly by those reads strained while its credit is simply invisible here.

What has actually happened on the ground in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA recently?
Over the trailing 365 days in San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA, the record shows 99 WARN layoff notices and 20 store closures, with 10,313 jobs on those notices — a figure that is a floor, since notices stating no headcount are counted but contribute no jobs. cRE-related bankruptcies come in at 67, but this is a state proxy: filings are counted where the court case is filed or where an SEC filer is based, not where the property sits, and coverage widened on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.

STATE PROXY — a court case counts in its filing district and an SEC 8-K in the filer's state, not where the property is, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count. Each court case is counted once even when both PACER and CourtListener carry it. A court case's state is its filing district; an SEC 8-K or news item carries the filer's state. Coverage widened to both court feeds on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').
