The S&P Case Shiller Boston Home Price Index has risen steadily since February 2020. The index measures changes in the prices of existing single-family homes. The index value was equal to 100 as of January 2000, so if the index value is equal to 130 in a given month, for example, it means that the house prices have increased by 30 percent since 2000. The value of the S&P Case Shiller Boston Home Price Index amounted to nearly 335.36 in August 2024. That was above the national average.

The US commercial real estate (CRE) market, valued at $1.66 trillion in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, driven by robust economic activity and increasing demand across various sectors. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.61% from 2025 to 2033 indicates a positive outlook, although this growth is expected to be moderated by factors like rising interest rates and potential economic slowdowns. Strong performance is anticipated in key sectors such as office, retail, and industrial spaces, particularly in major metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The multi-family sector, fueled by population growth and urbanization, is also poised for significant expansion. However, challenges remain, including supply chain disruptions impacting construction costs and the evolving nature of work impacting office demand. The logistics sector continues to be a significant driver of growth, fueled by e-commerce expansion and the need for efficient supply chains. Competition among established players like CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, and numerous regional firms will likely remain fierce, necessitating strategic acquisitions, technological advancements, and innovative service offerings to secure market share. The regional distribution of the US CRE market reflects the concentration of economic activity and population density. The Northeast and West Coast regions are expected to continue to dominate, with New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco being key contributors to overall market value. However, growth is also anticipated in secondary markets such as Denver, Austin, and Nashville, driven by factors like lower operating costs and population migration. The ongoing shift towards sustainable and technologically advanced buildings will likely influence investment decisions, as investors prioritize energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. The forecast period (2025-2033) will likely witness increased adoption of PropTech solutions aimed at improving efficiency and transparency within the industry, furthering shaping the competitive landscape and overall market dynamics.
