Trepp’s PPI Unveils Property Price Trends by Sector

Source: Trepp

When calculating values over time, baselines are everything. That includes property prices and their future direction. Trepp’s latest Property Price Index (TPPI) update shows varied trends in CRE price movements.

Overview of TPPI: The TPPI is based on proprietary CRE transaction data, tracking 569,900 repeat sales since 2000, with 9,192 new sale pairs added in Q1 2024. The index is equally weighted to represent various property types. Previously a composite measure, the TPPI now includes sector-specific indices for multifamily, office, retail, industrial, and lodging properties, offering a more nuanced view of the market.

Trending: In Q1 2024, the composite TPPI showed a QoQ increase of 0.51% and a YoY rise of 0.66%. Despite this growth, the index remains 1.94% below its mid-2022 peak, indicating ongoing market recovery.

  • Multifamily: The sector saw a slight quarterly increase of over 0.5% but experienced a year-over-year decline of more than 2%. Since the rate hike in June 2022, the multifamily index has dropped by nearly 6%, reflecting post-pandemic demographic shifts.

  • Office: Prices in the office sector are up 2.15% from June 2022. This resilience, despite broader market challenges, may be due to the sector’s illiquidity and reluctance of owners to sell at lower prices.

  • Retail: The retail index showed a minor quarterly increase of just over 0.1% but a slight year-over-year decline of -0.36%, indicating relative stability.

  • Industrial: The industrial index declined by 0.56% quarter-over-quarter but remained neutral year-over-year. From its peak, the index decreased by 1.32%, with continued strong demand in logistics and e-commerce sectors.

  • Lodging: The lodging sector saw a significant 4% quarterly surge and a 1.68% increase since June 2022. However, price trends remain volatile, influenced by consumer confidence and travel patterns.

➥ THE TAKEAWAY

Bigger picture: Trepp’s latest TPPI data reveals mixed news for CRE prices. While the overall market shows a modest recovery, sector-specific trends tell a different story. Multifamily properties are still struggling, office spaces show surprising strength, and retail and industrial properties remain steady. The hospitality sector experienced volatility but is bouncing back with significant quarterly gains.

Workplace quality is becoming increasingly crucial, as highlighted by two-thirds of respondents in CBRE’s Global Live-Work-Shop Survey.

From Q1 2020 to Q1 2024, prime buildings experienced a positive net absorption of 48 million sq. ft., whereas non-prime buildings saw a negative net absorption of 170 million sq. ft. As tenants adapt their portfolio strategies to accommodate more flexible working patterns, the preference for high-quality office space is expected to persist.
