This month's CoStar Commercial Repeat Sale Indices (CCRSI) provides the market's first look at commercial real estate pricing trends through September 2025. Based on 1,347 sale pairs in September 2025 and more than 332,597 repeat sales since 1996, the CCRSI offers the broadest measure of commercial real estate repeat sales activity.

CCRSI National Results Highlights

  • U.S. COMPOSITE PRICE INDICES EDGED LOWER IN SEPTEMBER 2025. The value-weighted U.S. Composite Index, which is more heavily influenced by high-value trades common in core markets, declined 1.1% over the prior month to 236 in September 2025, following three consecutive months of gains. The index also fell 1.8% in the 12 months ending in September 2025, declining 20.6% below the July 2022 all-time high.
  • Meanwhile, the equal-weighted U.S. Composite Index, which reflects the more numerous but lower-priced property sales typical of secondary and tertiary markets, sank 0.9% over the prior month to 310 in September 2025. The index fell 1% lower during the 12 months ending in September 2025, declining 2% from the March 2025 all-time high.
  • September 2025 marks the first negative year-over-year price decline in the equal-weighted segment since February 2012.

About The CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices

The CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices (CCRSI) are the most comprehensive and accurate measures of commercial real estate prices in the United States. In addition to the national Composite Index (presented in both equal-weighted and value-weighted versions), national Investment-Grade Index, and national General Commercial Index, which are reported monthly, 30 sub-indices in the CoStar index family are reported quarterly. The sub-indices include breakdowns by property sector (office, industrial, retail, multifamily, hospitality, and land), by region of the country (Northeast, South, Midwest, and West), by transaction size and quality (general commercial, investment-grade), and by market size (composite index of the prime market areas in the country). The CoStar indices are constructed using a repeat sales methodology, widely considered the most accurate measure of price changes for real estate. This methodology measures the movement in the prices of commercial properties by collecting data on actual transaction prices. When a property is sold more than once, a sales pair is created. The prices from the first and second sales are then used to calculate price movement for the property. The aggregated price changes from all the sales pairs are used to create a price index. Historical price indices are revised as new data is recorded.
