The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries, Chicago, said its quarterly Property Index showed aggregate market values of properties declined for the third straight quarter; returns were negative for the second straight quarter.
The report said the market value index declined by 2.6% during the first quarter and the total return for the quarter was -1.81%. Although the return was negative, it was less negative than the -3.49% return during the 4th quarter and the decline in value was less than it was in the fourth quarter. The quarterly return consisted of 1.01% from income and -2.82% from negative property appreciation.
The -1.81% return is the unleveraged return for “operating properties” held by institutional investors throughout the U.S. As of quarter-end there were 4,717 properties with leverage and the weighted average loan to value ratio was 43%.
