What Is a Cap Rate?

A capitalization rate (cap rate) is the most commonly used metric for evaluating commercial real estate investments. It is calculated by dividing a property’s net operating income by its purchase price. A higher cap rate indicates higher yield but potentially higher risk. In premium markets like Greenwich CT, lower cap rates reflect the stability and quality of the investment.
