As rates reshape markets, resilient demand and constrained supply continue to support Australia's commercial property outlook.
In the final edition of the House View for 2026, CBRE's Australia & New Zealand CEO Phil Rowland and Head of Research Sameer Chopra examine the forces shaping property markets as the year draws to a close. They explore the implications of higher interest rates, evolving tax settings and rising bond yields, while assessing why occupier demand, rental growth and investment activity have remained more resilient than many expected.
The discussion also looks at AI's growing influence on office demand and data centre development, the demographic trends supporting residential and senior living sectors, and the impact of tightening future supply across multiple asset classes. With fundamentals holding firm despite a more challenging backdrop, Phil and Sameer share their outlook for 2027 and the markets they expect to deliver the strongest performance.
