What this means for owners

Industrial was the county’s standout this quarter. Ten tracked trades cleared at a median $127 per square foot — up 9.2% over the year — as cap rates compressed to 6.25%, inside the Central Valley average.

Tight 3.9% vacancy and 6.5% rent growth kept distribution, cold storage, and last-mile space in demand, and capital kept rotating into Valley industrial for its yield and its logistics access. For owners weighing a transition — for tax, estate, or generational reasons — this is a constructive window to begin the conversation.

The numbers describe a market with real momentum behind it. We are at your service.
