IRVINE, CALIF. — Commercial real estate values in the United States increased by 7 percent from April 2015 to April 2016, according to Ten-X, an online real estate marketplace. The company has released its latest Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Nowcast. The pricing index, which combines Google Trends data, Ten-X’s proprietary transaction data and investor surveys to forecast CRE pricing trends in real time, reveals that commercial valuations increased by 0.6 percent month-over-month in April and are back above their year-end 2015 level. 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. Meanwhile, the multifamily sector displayed the strongest pricing trends with a 1.8 percent gain in April.” The Ten-X Hotel Nowcast dipped 1 percent from March …
