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they are usually 3-6 months out of date at the time we analyse them.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 that growth is
continuing at a below-trend pace, with domestic demand growth
overall quite weak. As a result, the unemployment rate has gradually
moved higher over the past year. The economy is likely to be
operating with a degree of spare capacity for quite some time
yet...Credit is recording moderate growth overall, with stronger
growth in lending to investors in housing assets...The Bank is
working with other regulators to assess and contain risks that may
arise from the housing market. In other asset markets, prices for
equities and commercial property have risen, in part as a result of
declining 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.”
