MARKET OUTLOOK Investment demand

  • Markets nearing low point of rent cycle – growth anticipated medium/long term

  • Further declines in capitalisation rates should lead to firming of capital values

  • Strong investment demand for quality stock due to solid income yield

  • Wide spread in pricing of assets depending on risk, based on

  • duration of leases

  • prime vs secondary assets

  • CBD vs fringe/metropolitan

  • Pricing spreads expected to narrow in the medium term for quality properties, but likely to remain uneven
