From the Federal Reserve: The October 2021 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices
Regarding loans to businesses, respondents to the October survey, on balance, reported easier standards and stronger demand for commercial and industrial (C&I) loans to large and middle-market firms over the third quarter. Banks also reported easier standards for C&I loans to small firms, while demand from small firms remained basically unchanged.2 For commercial real estate (CRE), banks reported easier standards for all loan categories. Banks also reported stronger demand for multifamily loans and for loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties, while demand for construction and land development loans remained basically unchanged. For loans to households, banks eased standards across most categories of residential real estate (RRE) loans, on net, and reported weaker demand for most types of RRE loans over the third quarter. Banks also eased standards across all three consumer loan categories–credit card loans, auto loans, and other consumer loans–while reports on demand for consumer loans were mixed.

This shows that banks have eased standards (tightened for subprime), and that there is decreased demand for RRE loans.
