For-Sale Searches

• Overall this was the strongest week-on-week growth since March, rising 4.9%.

• Buy searches dropped only in the ACT (14.7%) following the implementation of a seven-day lockdown.

For-Lease Searches

• Overall searches grew 1.9%.

• This growth follows four consecutive weeks of declines and was largely driven by QLD where search volumes grew 14.5% with the state emerging from a lockdown.

• Lease searches in the ACT dropped 10.3% again following the implementation of a seven-day lockdown.

According to the REA Report:

To date, the market to lease commercial property has been more impacted by lockdowns than the market to buy. While restrictions have significant implications for businesses looking to lease over the short-term, buyers typically have a longer-term view. The expectation that the vaccine rollout will reduce the risk of lockdowns in 2022 is supporting buyer confidence.
