It's The Real Estate Podcast, across every state, city and town of Australia. And welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast, available on iHeartRadio every morning, also on Spotify and Apple and wherever you get your podcasts from. It is a Thursday, the 21st day of July, not a lot of days left in July before we start to look into August. Coming up this morning, because it is a Thursday, we're talking to Scott O'Neill from Rethink Investing. What we're doing is reflecting back on a few different podcasts with some key points about the commercial property sector. And if you're celebrating your birthday today for the 21st, you would have been sharing it with Robin Williams. It's his birthday today, but unfortunately he passed away in 2014, which is eight years ago.
Where have those eight years gone? Also, Cat Stevens is celebrating. He is turning 73. And on this day at Vostok Station, a Russian station on Antarctica, they experienced the lowest temperatures ever measured in recorded human history. the temperature fell there to minus 89.2 degrees. That happened on this day in 1983. And you know, Melbourne can get cold, but it ain't that cold. Grab your coffee and switch on your real estate breakfast every weekday morning from 6.30. It's the main centre forecast with propertybuyer.com.au. Alright, let's check on your weather around Australia. First we go to Sydney, expecting some showers and a high of 17 degrees. Melbourne, a morning frost is back. the good news more fine weather today and your high creeps up to 15 degrees Brisbane rain increasing with 19 and in Perth rain with the wind to ease and your high of 19 degrees
From first home buyers to property investors and everything in between, every morning on the Real Estate Podcast. Let's Talk Commercial, a podcast series with Scott O'Neill. So Scott O'Neill from Rethink Investing is here from earlier podcasts and some of the key talking moments about commercial property. And I asked Scott if the worm was starting to turn with people being more open to investing in the commercial space.
Yeah look I've seen this firsthand so like I'm in the business of helping people acquiring commercial property and we're literally seeing about the volume it's about 40% more than it was this time last year in terms of what we're purchasing for our clients that's just in dollar amount. And we're really just seeing an explosion of, I guess, extra interest in this department. And one of the main reasons I think is the interest rate talk. As interest rates, you know, the threat of the interest rate rises increase, people start looking at their residential portfolios, which may already be negatively geared or at best evenly geared, and think, what would an interest rate rise do to my portfolio? And it's going to make it harder to hold.
So you immediately think, where can I get better cash flow? Because that will support a higher interest rate environment. And that's where commercial is quite literally, you know, a fast track solution to that. You're going to be dealing with much higher incomes on the assets. And, you know, an interest rate rise really won't scare you when you're sort of hearing the numbers we're talking.
Yeah. So we've got more people interested in commercial property. Perhaps for our listeners, let's break down what they can expect from yield returns maybe in 2022 for certain types of commercial property.
Yeah. So real quick. background so we're purchasing around sort of 40 properties per month for our clients on average and this is just my anecdotal evidence of what i'm seeing in the market so in sydney like yields can be as low as two percent but most most sort of between two and four percent net so obviously that's not super high it's in fact one of the lowest yielding markets in australia as is melbourne which is quite similar you go to places like brisbane you can still find yields anywhere from five to seven percent net return Our average purchasing yield in Brisbane in 2022 this year is 6.1 at the moment.
