Commercial Property Price Index ®

Pan-European Commercial Property Price Index

September 6, 2024

Property Prices Up More Than 3% This Year

Newport Beach, CA, September 6, 2024 — The Green Street Commercial Property Price Index® increased 1.6% in August. The index - a measure of pricing for institutional quality properties - is up 3.3% this year.

“Commercial property prices have increased over the past few months as bond yields have declined," said Peter Rothemund, Co-Head of Strategic Research at Green Street. "There's a good chance the momentum in pricing continues. Property prices have not risen as fast as bond yields have fallen, and share prices of many listed REITs are now higher than the underlying value of their properties."

Green Street's Commercial Property Price Index ® is a time series of unleveraged U.S. commercial property values that captures the prices at which commercial real estate transactions are currently being negotiated and contracted. Features that differentiate this index are its timeliness, its emphasis on high-quality properties, and its ability to capture changes in the aggregate value of the commercial property sector.

What makes our Commercial Property Price Index ® unique?

There are significant differences between the Green Street CPPI ® and other indices that track commercial property prices. Green Street’s CPPI ® is based on frequently updated estimates of price appreciation of the property portfolios owned by the REITs in its coverage universe. Other indices are based on closed transactions or formal appraisals and reflect market prices from several months earlier.

Green Street's Pan-European Real Estate Analytics platform covers 30 of the most liquid European real estate markets across the industrial, office, retail, and residential property sectors. The Commercial Property Price Index is a time series of unleveraged property values across these sectors and markets, and captures the prices at which commercial real estate transactions are currently being negotiated and contracted. Features that differentiate this index are its timeliness, its emphasis on average quality properties, and its ability to capture changes in the aggregate value of the commercial property sector.

Institutional Quality

Average Institutional Quality

The index is based on Green Street's frequently updated estimates of price appreciation of the property portfolios owned by the REITs in its U.S. coverage universe. Since REITs own high-quality properties, the index measures the value of institutional-quality commercial real estate.

The index is based on Green Street's frequently updated estimates of price for the property portfolios of a typical commercial real estate investor. It is driven by the fundamental models maintained by the research team, which, in turn, are driven primarily by changes in market cap rates and net rental income.

Timely

Timeliness

Our index reflects changes in commercial property values as soon as we hear about them. That's one of the benefits of Green Street’s CPPI ® ; we don’t have to wait for deals to close. The index is published monthly and released within days of month-end, whereas other indices have a sizeable lag.

The Green Street index value is based on where commercial real estate would transact today. Other indexes, based on either closed transactions or formal appraisals, may reflect market prices from many months earlier.

Value-Weighted

Asset Value Weighted

We place more weight on high-quality properties, e.g. a New York skyscraper has a much greater impact than a suburban strip mall. Because our CPPI ® is value-weighted, it measures what’s happening to real estate prices in aggregate, similar to the Wilshire 5000 that measures what’s happening to the stock market in aggregate. Most property indices are equally-weighted.

Each sector index is created by GDP weighting individual market indexes. The sector indexes are then equal weighted to create the Pan-European Commercial Property Index. Akin to familiar stock price indexes (e.g., S&P 500), GDP value weighting provides a gauge of aggregate (as opposed to average) values. Equal-weighted indexes, by contrast, put the same emphasis on a Dusseldorf industrial building as they do a trophy London office building.
