MARCH 2011 RELEASE (With Data through January 2011)www.costar.com/ccrsi
INVESTMENT GRADE PROPERTIES POSTLARGEST YEAR OVER YEAR GAIN SINCE 2006
The Investment Grade Index in the most recent CoStar Commercial Repeat-Sale Indices (CCRSI) is up10.6% versus the same period last year even after a slight decline in January 2011.
The Investment Grade pair count (total number of repeat sales) is up 54% year over year, a substantialincrease.
The increase in Investment Grade repeat sales transactions reflects trends in the broader market. CoStartracked more than $211 billion in total sale transactions in 2010. This is a 79% increase over 2009 sales
volume for all sales. While the market is clearly recovering sales transaction volume still remains 63% below
the markets recent peak volume level.
CoStars General Grade Index is down 11.3% versus the same period last year, reflecting continueddownward pressure on general commercial property values. It did, however, start 2011 on a slight up-note,
increasing 0.4% for the first month of 2011. After being down for the past three months at -2.4% and down -
11.3% for the past year, the smaller property index may be seeing the specter of bottom for the first time in
the past three years.
The General Grade pair count is down 1% over the year-ago level. We expect pair counts will increaseslightly as additional closings are recorded.
The Composite Index, which is an equal weighted analysis of both the Investment Grade and General Gradeindices and a reflection of the broad overall market, was flat the first month of 2011, down -2.6% for the past
three months and down -6.6% for the past 12 months.

COSTAR COMMERCIAL REPEAT-SALE INDICES March 2011 Release (With Data through January 2011)
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, there are a total of 32
sub-indices in the CoStar index family. The sub-indices include breakdowns by property sector (office, industrial,
retail, multifamily and land), by region of the country (Northeast, South, Midwest, West), by transaction size and
quality (general commercial, investment grade), and by market size (composite index of the 10 largest metropolitan
areas in the country). The CoStar national composite index is produced on a monthly basis.
The CoStar indices are constructed using a repeat-sale methodology, widely considered as the most accurate way
to measure price changes for real estate. The repeat-sale methodology measures the movement in the prices of
commercial properties by collecting data on the actual sales prices that occur when a property sells. When a property
is sold more than one time, a sale pair is created. The prices from the first and second sale are then used to calculate
price movement for the property. By aggregating all the price changes from all of the sale pairs, a price index is
created.
COMMENTARY ON DATA
We wish to point out a one-time change in the methodology used effective this month. The quarterly indices and
approach has not changed but the monthly numbers are now based on a two-stage/frequency-conversion of rotating
quarter procedure, which is slightly less noisy than direct monthly estimates.
The CCRSI March 2011 report is based on data through the end of January 2011. In January of 2011, 483 pair
sales were recorded compared to 434 in the same month of 2010. Note that is an increase of 11% compared to the
prior year, and we expect to see pair volume running closer to 20% ahead of January 2010 as additional sales from
that period are confirmed and added, in line with the 22% higher volume we observed in December of 2010 versus
December of 2009.
The Investment Grade pair count is up 54% over last year at this time while the General Grade pair count is down
just a single percent. As previously mentioned, the pair counts for both will likely increase slightly when the additional
closings are recorded.
Distress sales as a percent of the total increased in each of the four quarters in 2010 with an increase of just over
20% in the fourth quarter and an increase of 18.5% for all of 2010. By property type, the highest percentage of
distress in the fourth quarter was found in the Hospitality sector at 36%, followed by Multifamily at 24%, Office at 21%
and Industrial and Retail both near 19%. It is clear from our analysis that the amount of distressed commercial
property has not peaked and will continue to affect the pricing indices provided here.
We provide one graph below showing the sales counts and a second showing dollar volume. Note that by
transaction count the General Grade Index sales accounted for 68% of the total sales transaction count in January.
By volume in January properties in the Investment Grade Index represented 78% of total volume. The average deal
size within Investment Grade was $10.5 million in January down from nearly $16 million in December and more in line
with long-term averages. The average dollar size for the General Grade Index was $1.4 million in January compared
to $1.6 million in December.
