CoStar's Composite Commercial Repeat Sales Index increased by 0.6% in November 2011. It is now 1.8% above the same period last year and 31.8% below its peak in August 2007.

CoStar's Investment Grade Repeat Sales Index increased by 2.2% in November 2011 and is now 6.4% above the same period last year and 29.2% below its peak in August 2007.

CoStar's General Grade Commercial Repeat Sales Index increased by 0.3% in November 2011 and is now 1.1% above the same period last year and 32.5% below its peak in August 2007.

"This modest-but-steady recovery largely reflected the impact of improving market fundamentals, which have continued to attract investors and buyers despite a lending environment for smaller properties that has remained constricted," according to the CoStar report.

The CoStar indices are constructed using a repeat sales methodology that measures the movement in the prices of commercial properties by collecting data on actual transaction prices. The CCRSI tracks sale pair transaction data through Nov. 30.
