National commercial real estate prices fell in July following a previous decline in June, according to Moodyb s and Real Estate Analyticsb Monday report.
From January through July 2010, commercial real estate prices have dropped 4 percent altogether, even despite gains in April and May. Contributing factors beginning early this year include the potential for a double-dip recession in the U.S. as well as the European debt crisis.
According to GlobeSt.com, managing director Nick Levidy at Moodyb s said this in a statement:
b The recent performance, while perhaps somewhat discouraging, should not come as a complete surprise. We have noted for several months that markets are likely to remain choppy for some time as property values slowly form a bottom in conjunction with a gradual recovery of the broader economy.b
