In this episode of the Gaglardi Scott Real Estate Podcast, hosts Gerald SE and Rocky Gaglardi discuss various aspects of commercial and Industrial Real Estate, focusing on market trends, financial strategies, and the current state of the market post-COVID.
Main Financial Strategies and Market Analyses:
- Growth in Commercial Real Estate: The commercial sector has shown resilience post-COVID, with significant growth in demand for commercial investments, particularly in Industrial Real Estate.
- Shift in Business Mindset: Businesses are increasingly opting for larger footprints rather than smaller, fragmented spaces, leading to efficiency gains and higher land prices.
- Investment Trends: There is a notable influx of out-of-town investors in the commercial property market, leading to increased competition and higher prices for commercial properties.
- Yields and Auction Strategies: The podcast discusses how higher yields indicate lower property values and the importance of understanding auction processes. Investors are encouraged to seek properties with the highest yields for better returns.
- Owner-Occupier vs. Investor Dynamics: The hosts emphasize that properties do not always need tenants to achieve good value; owner-occupiers can sometimes drive higher bids than investors.
Methodology for Valuing Properties:
- Factors Considered in Valuation:
- Location and condition of the property
- Whether the property is tenanted or vacant
- Length and terms of existing leases
- Market evidence and economic indicators
- Specific needs of potential tenants (e.g., fit-out requirements)
Current Market Trends:
- Leasing Landscape: There is a resurgence in local businesses filling vacant commercial spaces, aided by investments in infrastructure that boost local confidence.
- Evolving Office Space Demand: The shift to remote work has altered the demand for office spaces, with some sectors (like health services) expanding while others contract.
- Regional Growth: The podcast highlights the strategic position of Shepparton as a growing regional hub, attracting significant investment and development.
