While the Queensland economy has lifted, the retail market remains subdued and investor interests have waned due to a blanket shortage of bank funding. In the recent third quarter however, there has been a small tick up in the number of retail property transactions, JLL’s Jacob Swan and Sam Hatcher who brokered the deal say.
“The third quarter of this year has seen the volume of transactions returning to the five year average, showing the robust demand continuing for Queensland retail assets in the face of some challenging market conditions,” Mr Swan said.
