The number of sales remained high however the average deal size had reduced to just $1.179 million representing the higher volume of strata sales recorded this period. This three month period between October and December 2016 saw Industrial re-establish its dominance representing more than 40% of all transactions, followed by Retail at 20.47%. The asset classes which have been growing in demand around much of Australia including Child Care and Medical represented a high 13.47% of the total sales during this last quarter of 2016.

This brings the total Commercial sales amount to close to $632 million across the Gold Coast market during the 2016 period which represents around half of the $1.25billion which was transacted during the 2015 calendar year. While 2016 saw a flurry of investment activity during the 3Q most other periods remained relatively subdued in comparison to the record breaking 2015 calendar year.

The major driver of this decline comes from the more limited supply of stock on the market and the pricepoint in which it sat; during 2015 we witnessed a greater volume of high value hotel transactions together with major development site and commercial transactions which were fuelled by the high interest by overseas buyers.

While the volume of sales in 2016 has reduced, the demand for stock has not, with strong property fundamentals and affordable financing resulting in growing private investor interest in commercial assets. More owners are opting to retain their assets as alternative investment yields remain low given the current low bond rate which has put continued pressure on commercial property yields as this growing pool investors compete to enter the market. Demand for this lower price point assets will remain strong into 2017 however some caution around investment yield should be taken.
