CBRE stated in a recent report that from 2024 to 2028, future shopping center supply will total 780,000 square meters, which is less than half the historical average. Moreover, shopping center vacancy rates are very low. Currently, the vacancy rate for Australian shopping centers is below 5%, and as vacancy rates tighten and shopping centers continue to attract foot traffic, rents are expected to keep rising.
Nisdey : There is only 1 way the RBA will cut rates in 2025, and that's if the corrupt Albanese government legislated away their independence and stacks the RBA board with union organisers. (this is their current plan to reduce interest rates, since they refuse to cut government spending to lower inflation).
The disconnection of interest rates from inflation to trick voters into giving this lunatic another term in office, combined with the absurd spending on "renewables" and "infrastructure" all of which is 100% inflationary (since neither generate any revenue) guarantees that REITs as well as any other deflationary asset (like gold, or Bitcoin) will skyrocket.
Since the underlying cause will be hyperinflation in the AUD, holding literally anything that is not denominated in AUD, like US dollars or stocks will also "skyrocket" if viewed through the lens of Australian Dollars.
This might sound like a way to get rich while everyone else gets poorer, but it doesn't work like that in Australia.
Here, we believe in Survival of the Weakest. A form of anti-evolution.
FACT: the average NDIS participant receives "benefits" equivalent to nearly double the average workforce participant's before-tax income. Who's better off working? Not many.
