Green Street’s Real Estate Alert Reports That Commercial Property Sales Through Mid-Year Are Up 16%, as Market Pros Forecast a Strong Second Half

Sales in the $5 million to $25 million lagged larger deals, according to a new special supplement that tracks broker sales volume by sector and market for transactions.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Street’s Real Estate Alert has released its Mid-Year Broker Rankings of transactions valued between $5 million and $25 million in its recently published special supplement analyzing the private-capital segment.

Sales of commercial real estate properties valued from $5 million to $25 million rose 3.5% to $45.24 billion from January to June, up from $43.70 billion in the first six months of 2024, according to Green Street’s Sales Comps Database. But trades with a sell-side advisor attached rose 21%, while unbrokered trades fell 16%.

By comparison, sales in the $25 million-plus market jumped 21%, to $118.37 billion from $97.64 billion. Brokered sales also rose 21% in the larger-deals segment - and the parallel increases at different price points suggests that momentum is continuing to rise across the multifamily, industrial, office, retail, hotel and niche sectors.

Overall, sales of properties $5 million and up are up 16% to $163.61 billion from $141.34 billion in the first half of 2024.

“The year-over-year increase that Green Street’s reporting has shown in the first half is just the latest bellwether of improvement in the commercial real estate space,” said Real Estate Alert managing editor Rich Quinn. “The quality of our proprietary data and the depth of our analysis reveals a landscape that is primed for a strong second half.”

Market pros said that the Trump Administration’s April 2 tariff announcement injected a fresh dose of economic uncertainty and prompted a pause in listings and deals across sectors – but that was ultimately short-lived. “Now, buyers are looking beyond the disruption and focusing on the same factors that buoyed confidence at the start of the year,” Real Estate Alert reported.

The newsletter’s league tables are based on responses from 46 brokerages to a nationwide survey, with additional data drawn from independent reporting, property records, published reports, press releases and other sources.
