CoStar Group Inc. has released its latest forecast indicating that yields are expected to decrease across U.S. commercial real estate property types in 2026. The report highlights ongoing cap rate compression in the multifamily and industrial sectors, particularly for high-quality assets where vacancies have peaked and rent growth is accelerating. Office and retail cap rates have remained stable, but upward pressure on yields is easing, with the outlook suggesting potential declines ahead. The forecast is more optimistic than previous quarters, citing a 43% year-over-year increase in sales volume during the third quarter of 2025 and improved liquidity in the market. Additional factors such as the tightening of corporate bond spreads also support expectations for lower cap rates moving forward.
