Commercial property prices edged higher in January 2026, with the RCA CPPI US National All Property Index rising 0.3% from a year earlier, reported MSCI Real Assets. However, price momentum has weakened in recent months, and the annualized pace of change from December suggests a loss of 1.3%.
“Property pricing continues to reflect bumpy market conditions as transaction volume remains below historical norms and financing costs stay elevated,” according to MSCI Real Assets. “Price performance is
diverging across property types, with investor capital flowing toward sectors supported by demand drivers, such as industrial assets linked to AI and logistics, while other segments face more tempered
pricing trends.”
As a case in point, industrial posted the strongest year-over-growth in January, with pricing up 3.7% during the period. Retail pricing was down 1.3% Y-O-Y and apartment prices edged down by 0.1%. Office represented a mixed bag, with suburb assets up 1.9% Y-O-Y and CBD office down 1.3%.
