U.S. commercial properties prices continued to rise in August, thanks to a well-performing debt market, according to the latest data from Real Capital Analytics.
The U.S. National All-Property Index increased 6.7% year over year and 0.8% month over month in August.
"The ability to refinance properties rather than sell them has kept prices sticky," RCA said.
The industrial segment experienced the biggest annual price increase in August, jumping 12.5% year over year. Apartment asset prices climbed 7.1% annually in August, the second-strongest gain.
Prices for the retail and office sectors grew 2.2% and 2.0% year over year, respectively.
The six largest metropolitan markets — Boston; Chicago; Los Angeles; New York; San Francisco; and Washington, D.C. — logged annual property gains of 5.5% in August, compared with 7.0% in non-major metros, according to RCA.
