Moodys/REAL Commercial Property Price Index
Last week, in Commercial Real Estate Problems Piling Up, I opined that commercial real estate is a likely candidate to usher in the next leg of the financial crisis. Since the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index gets so much publicity, I thought this would be a good opportunity to mention a commercial real estate index that deserves more attention: the Moodys/REAL Commercial Property Price Index.
This index was last updated April 24th and shows that prices have dropped slightly more than 20% since the October 2007 peak.
While residential prices are important to watch, most of the residential story has already been told. The rest of the real estate story – good or bad – likely lies on the commercial side.

Since this is a round-trip price basis, it seems that it will be quite accurate but also lagging.
VIX:TNX is at 1.13... I think this might be the headfake before the leg down. Looks like today's move up is on very low volume.
Eric I would like to agree with you (since I'm bear also as of late), but then the price rejection for a false breakout simply too weak. I would liked to see, at least for today, we close at the low of the day and the gap gets closed and that we have a inverted hammer (better yet, a shooting star) But none of that happend...
It is great to read some of the information and feedback, here. I hope to read more ideas in the future!!!
I need this commercial property price index for analysis. This will definitely help me a lot, I know this. Thanks and glad to get this help.
