Talking Property: The House View Q1 2025

In this first edition of The House View for 2025, CBRE’s Pacific Advisory Services CEO Phil Rowland and Pacific Head of Research Sameer Chopra give their take on the key opportunities and challenges for the Australian property sector.

They explore the concept of ‘exceptionalism’ and why we’re likely to see strong rent and capital value growth in premium, well located assets, while gains are expected to be much slower elsewhere.

The global and local trends shaping the property market are also up for discussion, as are Phil and Sameer’s key predictions on interest rates, cap rate compression, investment activity and the return to office.
