Crexi Achieves Record Auction Volume in Q4 2025

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Jan. 22, 2026 – Crexi, a foremost platform for commercial real estate data and transactions, has published its auction results for the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a milestone with a total of $496 million in listings across 207 properties. This record establishes Q4 as the most successful quarter in the history of Crexi Auctions, highlighting a noteworthy trend of increasing adoption of auction-based sales.

The data reveals significant activity across various asset classes, including retail, industrial, office, and land properties. On average, each auction attracted 11 bids, demonstrating robust buyer engagement even amidst fluctuating market conditions. Notably, the average period from listing to sale was reduced to 44 days, showcasing the efficiency of the auction process in today's commercial real estate environment.

Sonya Bokano, the Vice President of Transactions at Crexi, expressed her enthusiasm about the results: "Q4 marked a record close to our strongest year to date, underscoring the growing confidence both sellers and buyers have in auction sales. As we enter 2026, brokers are increasingly incorporating auctions in all asset classes, particularly in the hospitality sector, as the market seeks faster and more definitive transaction methods."

Q4 2025 Performance Highlights

• - Record-Breaking Volume: 207 properties were listed across six auction events, summing up to $496 million.
• - Expanding Adoption: Witnessing a 28% growth quarter-over-quarter in unit transactions, indicating a rise in both seller and buyer participation across diverse property types.
• - Strong Buyer Engagement: An average of 11 bids per property reflects ongoing demand and a motivated buyer base.
• - Efficient Execution: Properties sold had an average of 44 days from listing to closure, significantly shortening traditional timelines for property sales.

The sold auction transactions encompassed nearly all major property types, particularly excelling with industrial, multifamily, land, and office assets. This result reinforces Crexi's capability to perform well even during varying market cycles.

In 2025 alone, Crexi executed 26 auction events, resulting in an impressive total transaction volume of $433 million. The buyer participation remained strong with an average of 10 bids per auction, mirroring the efficiency seen throughout the year. As the momentum from 2025 continues, Crexi expects auction platforms to remain a vital solution wherein speed, transparency, and price clarity are prioritized.

Looking forward to 2026, Crexi has planned a comprehensive auction event calendar, integrating regular auctions with clearly defined marketing schedules and bidding opportunities. Currently, there is strong interest anticipated in land, multifamily, industrial, and office assets, along with a resurgence in activity in the hospitality sector, particularly as price adjustments and tighter bid-ask spreads reignite interest from sidelined investors.

In the words of Joe Serafin, Owner and Principal Broker of Serafin Real Estate: "In today's marketplace, auctions present an increasingly effective transaction strategy, particularly when a property garners interest from multiple buyer profiles. Auctions create genuine competition within a condensed timeline, enabling market forces to establish clear values. Sellers benefit from a transparent, swift, and assured selling experience through the auction process."

As commercial real estate owners evaluate decisions influenced by debt maturation costs, renovation expenses, and shifting travel demands, auctions emerge as a beneficial strategy to facilitate quicker sales and maintain a steady transaction pace.
