BIS commercial property data

Coverage does not imply comparability.

The BIS dataset contains nominal commercial property price series for more than 20 countries. Property types, geographic coverage and compilation methods differ significantly.

Use indices for context, then build the acquisition case from local transaction and lease evidence.
