Here are some highlights of the most recent U.S. office property report from Yardi Matrix:

Office-using employment increased 1.6% year-over-year in November 2019.
The average asking rate increased 2.3% year-over-year that month while the vacancy rate fell 10 basis points to 13.6%.
Growth in demand for office space as measured by office-using employment is heavily concentrated in a handful of metros. The top 20 markets tracked by Yardi Matrix accounted for 64% of office-using employment growth from October 2018 to October 2019 but only about 42% of total employment growth.
Transactions through November totaled $82.2 billion, on pace to match or exceed the $93 million recorded in 2018.
Sixty-seven million square feet of space was delivered year to date through November and another 156 million square feet remains under construction.
