CCRSI National Results Highlights
-- STEADY PRICE GROWTH IN SECONDARY AND TERTIARY MARKETS OFFSETS SLOWDOWN
AT TOP END OF CRE MARKET. The value-weighted U.S. Composite Index, which
reflects larger asset sales common in core markets, was flat in the
month of October 2016, while the same index was up 8.2% in the 12 months
ending in October 2016. Meanwhile the equal-weighted U.S. Composite
Index, which reflects the more numerous but lower-priced property sales
typical of secondary and tertiary markets, advanced by a stronger 1.4%
in the month of October 2016, and was up by a similar annual rate of
7.8% for the 12 months ended in October 2016.
-- GENERAL COMMERCIAL SEGMENT SHOWED STRONGER MOMENTUM IN EQUAL-WEIGHTED
INDEX. Recent pricing trends in the composite indices were mirrored in
the two sub-indices of the equal-weighted Composite Index. The General
Commercial segment, which is influenced by smaller, lower-priced
properties, increased 1.4% in October 2016 and 8.8% for the 12 months
ending in October 2016. Meanwhile, the Investment-Grade segment of the
index, which is influenced by higher-value properties, rose 1.4% in
October 2016, in line with the 1.6% average monthly increase for the 12
months ending in October 2016. The recent momentum in the General
Commercial segment demonstrates the breadth of the pricing recovery.
-- TRANSACTION VOLUME IS DOWN YEAR-TO-DATE FROM RECORD PACE SET IN 2015
ALTHOUGH STILL SECOND-HIGHEST ON RECORD. Composite pair volume of $101
billion through the first 10 months of 2016 was 2.5% lower than the same
period in 2015, suggesting capital flows have moderated from last year's
record-setting levels. However, the year-to-date volume through October
2016 is still the second-highest January through October sales volume on
record for the CCRSI.
-- MATURING CRE CYCLE MAY BE CONTRIBUTING TO SLOWER PACE. While both
indices have surpassed prerecession peak levels, the equal-weighted
index only managed to do so in September 2016. However, thanks to its
larger concentration of core properties in primary markets that were at
the forefront of the recovery, the value-weighted U.S. Composite index
is now 26.3% above last cycle's high-water mark. Additionally, both
composite indices increased nearly 8% for the 12 months ending in
October 2016, a deceleration from the double-digit annual pace of price
growth seen throughout 2014 and 2015.
-- OTHER LIQUIDITY MEASURES SHOW GAP BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS CONTINUED
TO NARROW. The average time on the market for for-sale properties
dropped sharply by 17.8% in the 12-month period ending in October 2016
and the sale-price-to-asking-price ratio narrowed by 2.9 percentage
points to 96.4%, the tightest this ratio has been since 2006. Meanwhile,
the share of properties withdrawn from the market by discouraged sellers
receded by 5.5 percentage points to 27.6% during the 12-month period
ending in October 2016.

About The CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices
The CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices (CCRSI) is the most comprehensive and accurate measure of commercial real estate prices in the United States. In addition to the national Composite Index (presented in both equal-weighted and value-weighted versions), national Investment-Grade Index, and national General Commercial Index, which we report monthly, we report quarterly on 30 sub-indices in the CoStar index family. The sub-indices include breakdowns by property sector (office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, and land), by region of the country (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West), by transaction size and quality (general commercial, investment-grade), and by market size (composite index of the prime market areas in the country).
The CoStar indices are constructed using a repeat sales methodology, widely considered the most accurate measure of price changes for real estate. This methodology measures the movement in the prices of commercial properties by collecting data on actual transaction prices. When a property is sold more than once, a sales pair is created. The prices from the first and second sales are then used to calculate price movement for the property. The aggregated price changes from all of the sales pairs are used to create a price index.
