Commercial Property Prices Fall 10.2% from a Year Ago

All the major U.S. property sectors posted annual declines in June as commercial property pricing continued to drop through the midpoint of 2023, MSCI Real Assets said Thursday. The RCA CPPI
National All-Property Index fell 10.2% from a year ago and 0.2% from May.

The apartment sector again saw the largest annual decline among the property types with an 11.7% drop, although the monthly rate of decline has eased through the first half of 2023. Apartment prices were unchanged in June compared to May; in December 2022 the index had fallen 2.3% from the prior month.

“Challenges with the cost of financing deals have weighed on deal activity and property pricing across property sectors,” according to MSCI. Deal volume in the second quarter of 2023 fell 63% from the year-ago period, as reported in the latest edition of US Capital Trends
