In 2022, the volume of commercial real estate transactions reached 752 billion U.S. dollars, up from 427 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. One of the reasons for the surge was the pandemic and the release of pent-up demand as the economy reopened. A real estate transaction refers to the process of passing the rights in a property unit from the seller to the buyer in return for an agreed upon sum. Effect of 2007-2008 credit crisis The U.S. real estate market reached its peak in 2007, just before the 2007-2008 credit crisis when the property market collapsed. The value of commercial property returns dropped between 2007 and 2009. Since 2010, the market has steadily recovered, and the volume of transactions climbed until 2015, and has levelled out since then. Types of commercial real estate The change in overall transaction volume is most likely impacted by the type of commercial properties which are more attractive to investors in a particular period. For instance, the interest in multifamily housing investment opportunities went down in the same period that interest in hotel investment opportunities went up.

This statistic presents the total value of real estate transactions in the United States from 2007 to 2010. The total value of real estate transactions in 2007 amounted to 513.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2007 ni the United States.

Between November 2018 and October 2020, office and residential real estate transactions accounted for more than half of the total real estate transaction volume on the investment market in Germany. The value of office transactions reached 30.4 billion euros in that period. Prime yields for commercial real estate in Germany saw the average highest return in the shopping center and retail warehouse parks, with five and 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2020.

As of the first half of 2024, the transaction volume of the residential real estate market in Malaysia reached nearly 122,000. By comparison, the total volume of transactions in 2023 amounted to around 250,500. Overall, the residential property market indicated an upward trend in transactions volume from 2022.

Global investment into commercial real estate has declined dramatically since 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the value of commercial real estate investment transactions was estimated at 157 billion U.S. dollars, down from 567 billion U.S. dollars in the same quarter in 2021. The suppressed investment activity can be explained by the worsening economic conditions and higher mortgage rates, resulting in an overall cautious behavior among investors. The Americas contributed with the most investment, at 157 billion U.S. dollars.

In recent years, the share of direct commercial real estate investment into the residential sector has been increasing globally. In 2007, 13 percent of the investment transaction volume was invested in residential property, while in the first quarter of 2024, this share doubled, reaching 26 percent. The share of office space investment, on the other hand, decreased from 45 percent in 2007 to 22 percent in the first quarter of 2024.
