U.S. Sales Volume in 2Q23 is Down ~50% Compared to Last Year’s Result, According to Green Street’s Quarterly Transaction Trends Report
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sep. 14, 2023 – Green Street, the preeminent provider of actionable commercial real estate intelligence and analytics, has released a new special report, Property Insights: Quarterly Transaction Trends, analyzing data from the firm’s U.S. Sales Comps database of verified transactions $5 million and up in order to provide insight into market health and where investors are allocating capital. This is the second report to be published as a part of Green Street’s new quarterly series, which is authored by Managing Director and Co-Head of Strategic Research, Daniel Ismail.
“Broader macro conditions are not supportive of CRE transactions right now. Credit availability has tightened, and that combined with higher interest costs, a persistently wide bid-ask spread, and the lack of forced sellers is limiting deal flow,” said Ismail. “The decline remains fairly broad-based, as no markets appear to have avoided material slowdown in transaction activity. The office sector has shown the most pronounced drops – particularly in markets like Houston, New York, and Atlanta – relative to estimated market value, while apartments and strip centers stand out with steep year-over-year volume declines. Despite cyclical headwinds, REIT M&A has picked up in 3Q and major deals in office and industrial provide North Stars for values and some glimmers of hope.”
