The Ten-X CRE Nowcast (formerly the Auction.com CRE Nowcast) is a price index covering the entire U.S. commercial market, including individual price trends for the office, apartments, retail, industrial and hotel sectors. “Even though the April all-sector increase is significantly stronger than the prior month’s slight gain of 0.2 percent, this still is the slowest annual growth rate from pricing for the cycle,” says Ten-X chief economist Peter Muoio. “April’s uptick in growth was seen across all major CRE sectors except hotel, where that segment’s fundamentals, as well as its pricing, continue dwindling.
