lil dickie said: "Now this is sort of cool. A new real estate index for commercial real estate. [quote] Expanding its widely followed suite of investable real estate indices, Standard & Poor's announced today the launch of the S&P/GRA Commercial Real Estate Indices (SPCREX). The indices measure the change in commercial real estate prices by property sector and geographic region, and are designed to be a reliable and consistent benchmark for commercial real estate prices in the United States. The S&P/GRA Commercial Real Estate Indices are created jointly with GRA, the real estate research and investment management group of Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. The S&P/GRA Commercial Real Estate Indices are comprised of ten commercial real estate indices: a national composite, five geographic regions (Desert Mountain West, Mid-Atlantic South, Midwest, Northeast, and Pacific West) and four national property sectors (apartments, office, retail, and warehouse). Each month, GRA collects and codes thousands of completed commercial real estate transactions in order to provide the foundation for the unique, price- based SPCREX indices. The indices are maintained and published by Standard & Poor's and GRA.[/quote] Maybe a safe way to play "commercial real estate"."
