APRIL: RETAIL WRAP
April delivered a mixed result across the retail investment market, with enquiry levels showing continued resilience. The team recorded 88 enquiries for the month, up 14% on April 2025, indicating that buyer interest remains healthy despite broader market uncertainty This suggests that confidence is still present in the market, particularly for well-positioned retail assets across the Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions.
This divergence highlights a more considered and selective approach from buyers, with many remaining in the research and evaluation phase before committing to on-site due diligence. Despite lower inspection numbers, there were encouraging signs in conversion metrics, with 3 offers submitted for the month, up 200% on April 2025
Sales activity moderated overall, with 9 transactions, equating to a total sales value of $9,582,607, down 28% on the same period last year. While volumes and values were softer, the uplift in offers suggests that motivated buyers remain active, and well-priced retail assets are still achieving strong engagement in the current market cycle.
