Commercial Real Estate Prices Keep Falling. Should You Worry?

"The Moody’s/REAL All Property Type Aggregate Index measured a 3.3% decrease in August, bringing the index to 105.37. This is the lowest recorded result since the beginning of the downturn, surpassing the old recession level low of 107.98, which occurred in October 2009. National prices are 7.6% below the value recorded last year. Since the peak in October 2007, prices have fallen 45.1%."

For a long time, pundits were referring to the fall in commercial real estate has the next shoe to drop that would create another meltdown in banking like in 2008. Very little has been written or said about this topic in the last few months, but the termites are still in the building`s foundations.

Today is Champions League night again, and I will leave with one of the best goals of the 2009/2010 edition. A brilliant move from Arsenal`s Samir Nasri (the audio is in a strange language but it really does not matter :)).
