Abstract: This paper investigates price discovery over space in real estate office markets. It is argued that due to geographic variation in the costs and benefits of obtaining information, peripheral market segments move more sluggishly than central segments. In order to test this idea empirically Swedish office cap rates and total returns during the period 1984-2012 are investigated. Support for the pattern is found. These ex post observable patterns in cap rates and total returns do not constitute arbitrage opportunities since they are not instantaneously observable.
