Pan-European Commercial Property Price Index
Looking for the Bottom
London, 5 January 2024 – The Green Street Commercial Property Price Index moved into positive territory (+1%) in December for the first time last year, down 11% for the whole of ’23. The index, which measures pricing of a broad swathe of Pan-European commercial properties, sits c.24% below its ’22 peak. The residential (+3%) and industrial (+2%) sectors drove the uptick in bid pricing as buyers’ sentiment improved following the decline in borrowing rates. Office prices were steady in December after underperforming (-19%) in 2023. The retail bid is steady too as confidence on the income outlook gains further ground.
“Whilst deal volumes remained thin across all four core property sectors in the last quarter of 2023, pricing levels seem to be nearing a floor after 18 months of write-offs”, said Marie Dormeuil, Analyst at Green Street. “The recent rally in debt markets implies that there is good value in commercial real estate at private-market pricing, while REIT share prices signal that direct market property spot values are fair. Simultaneously, operating fundamentals across three of the four core property types – excluding office – should result in inflation-beating net rental income growth over the next 24 months, further supporting the view of a stabilisation in bid pricing.”
