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.

  1. Since this is a round-trip price basis, it seems that it will be quite accurate but also lagging.

  2. 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.

  3. 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...

  7. I drop a comment each time I like a article on a site or I have something
    to valuable to contribute to the discussion. Usually it's caused by the passion displayed in the article I read. And on this article "Moodys/REAL Commercial Property Price Index". I was moved enough to post a thought :-P I do have 2 questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be simply me or do some of these responses come across like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on additional places, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Would you make a list every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook
    page or linkedin profile?
