To a basic non-economist it means confidence will falter once again, and debt will become harder to find, not helped by New Zealand’s change of credit rating. The effect of that is not just on the property supply (ie development/investment) side of the equation but also on the demand side. Businesses holding back on investment and hiring decisions are less likely to want to move to new premises. Every participant will need more equity to make things happen.Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:00:00 +1300http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/514http://www.colliers.co.nz/SiteAssets/Public/417007/GetFile/New%20Zealand%20Research%20Report%20October%2011.pdfThis month we concentrate primarily on the industrial property market. You may have seen the headline results of our investor confidence survey showing a slight dip in overall confidence, although there are still more optimists than pessimists. However looking at the industrial sector results for the main centres in more depth, it is clear that investor sentiment around the country is highly variable.Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:00:00 +1300http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/508http://www.colliers.co.nz/SiteAssets/Public/414151/GetFile/Colliers%20International%20Real%20Estate%20Confidence%20Survey%20-%20Sep%202011.pdfOverall confidence dropped to 7% from 10% in the June quarter.Mon, 03 Oct 2011 12:00:00 +1300http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/506http://www.colliers.co.nz/SiteAssets/Public/408321/GetFile/NZ%20Retail%20Report%202011.pdfMajor research report discussing the latest market indicators including vacancy rates, rents, capital values, yields and transactions in New Zealand's retail market sector.Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +1200http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/497http://www.colliers.co.nz/SiteAssets/Public/412994/GetFile/New%20Zealand%20Research%20Report%20September%2011.pdfPlans are being produced at a considerable pace in both Christchurch and Auckland. The draft Auckland Plan is finished although not yet published. It is intended to be a plan for better co-ordination and better investment, not just a land-use plan. It precedes and will influence the new Unitary Plan, or District Plan, which should be largely complete by the end of the next year. These are each massive pieces of work and have significant implications for residents, businesses, land owners, and investors.Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:00:00 +1200http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/504http://www.colliers.co.nz/SiteAssets/Public/392665/GetFile/New%20Zealand%20Research%20Report%20August%2011.pdfWe monitor around 1.27 million square metres of Wellington CBD office space. Our new survey reveals that while vacancy has remained stable in the first 6 months of 2011, rising only marginally from 9.9% to 10.0%, an increasing proportion of vacant space is concentrated in C grade properties.Fri, 05 Aug 2011 12:00:00 +1200http://www.colliers.co.nz/Knowledge-Centre/490
