ABOUT THIS REPORT
Preston Rowe Paterson prepare standard research reports covering the main markets
within which we operate in each of our capital cities and major regional locations.
The markets covered in this research report include the commercial office market,
industrial market, retail market, hotel and leisure market and residential market as well as
economic factors impacting on the real estate markets within we operate.
We regularly undertake valuations of commercial, retail, industrial, hotel and leisure,
residential and special purpose properties for many varied reasons, as set out later herein.
We also provide property management services, asset and facilities management services
for commercial, retail, industrial property as well as plant and machinery valuation.
To compile the research report we have considered the most recently available statistics
from known sources. Given the manner in which statistics are compiled and published they
are usually 3-6 months out of date at the time we analyse them. Where possible we
consider short term movement in the statistics by looking at daily published data in the
financial press. Where this shows notable fluctuation, when compared to the formal
published numbers we have commented accordingly.

Australia the available information suggests the economy
has continued to grow, but at a rate somewhat below its longterm average. Household spending has improved, including a
large rise in dwelling constructions, and exports are rising. But
the key drag on private demand is weakness in business
capital expenditure in both mining and non-mining sectors and
this is likely to persist over the coming year...Low interest rates
are acting to support borrowing and spending...Dwelling prices
continue to rise strongly in Sydney, though trends have been
more varied in a number of other cities...In other asset markets,
prices for equities and commercial property have been
supported by lower long-term interest rates.”

The Index is returning to its pre-budget level in May 2014. Westpac’s Senior Economist, Matthew Hassan commented; “Some
softening in sentiment was always likely in March given the big
lift (in February) following the RBA’s surprise 25bp rate cut…
The overall message seems to be that while consumers remain
very concerned about the outlook for the economy and job
security, they are less concerned than they were in December
and acknowledge the more positive situation around interest
rates.”
