Is It the Right Time to Sell Your Commercial Property in Loganholme?

Loganholme is a practical, high-demand location for commercial property because it sits in a busy growth corridor between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with strong road access and a steady mix of trade, service, and light-industrial users.

If you own a commercial property here, the big question is simple:

Is now the right time to sell — or should you wait?

In commercial property, the answer usually comes down to three factors:

1. Market trends (buyer demand + competing stock)

2. Property performance (income quality + risk)

3. Interest rates (borrowing power + buyer confidence)

Here’s a plain-English guide to help you make the call.

1) Market trends: are buyers actively chasing your type of asset?

Commercial markets aren’t “up” or “down” as one. They move in segments. In Loganholme, demand often depends on what you own:

• Industrial / trade units: access, clearance, parking, and usability

• Service-commercial: visibility, customer convenience, and tenant mix

• Small offices / mixed-use: lease strength and local demand for that footprint

A good sign it may be the right time to sell is when enquiry is coming from real buyers who ask for the fundamentals:

• lease term and options

• outgoings and net return

• vacancy and re-lease risk

• any upcoming maintenance or compliance costs

Also look at the competition: if there’s limited stock in your category and buyers have fewer alternatives, well-positioned properties can attract stronger interest.

2) Property performance: is your income story strong and “clean”?

Commercial buyers don’t buy emotion. They buy income and certainty.

Before deciding to sell now or wait, look at your property the way a buyer (or a bank) will:

• Lease length & options: longer terms generally reduce risk and help pricing

• Tenant quality: stable businesses with clean payment history matter

• Rent position: at market (safe), under market (upside), or above market (risk)?

• Outgoings clarity: clean documentation builds buyer confidence

• Vacancy risk: if a tenant left, how easy is it to re-lease locally?

• Capital works: roof, A/C, paving, drainage, compliance—any known costs buyers will discount

If your asset is well-leased, low-maintenance, and the numbers are straightforward, you’re usually selling from a position of strength. If you can see lease expiry or major works on the horizon, some owners choose to sell earlier—before those issues become negotiation points.

3) Interest rates: why they can change buyer behaviour quickly

Interest rates influence commercial property because they affect:

• Borrowing capacity (what buyers can fund)

• Yield expectations (what return investors require)

• Lender caution (short leases and weaker tenants get scrutinised more)

When rates are higher or uncertain, buyers tend to become more selective. They still buy good assets—but they push harder on risk, and they want clear information. That means your outcome often comes down to how well your property is presented on paper: tidy leases, transparent outgoings, and a clear story.

Sell now or wait: a practical decision test

Instead of trying to predict the market, ask this:

Will holding for the next 6–18 months clearly improve the property’s value — or simply add risk?

Selling may make sense now if:

• your lease profile is strong and you can sell certainty

• you want to unlock equity for another opportunity

• the property no longer fits your long-term plan

• you’d rather exit before lease expiry or capex becomes an issue

Waiting may make sense if:

• you can realistically strengthen value soon (renew a lease, tidy outgoings, minor upgrades that remove buyer objections)

• the asset is performing strongly and risk is low

And to naturally cover your SEO phrases: many owners think in residential terms like “accept first offer or wait” or “first offer selling house.” Commercial is different—your best result usually comes from strong fundamentals (lease + income certainty), clean documentation, and the right pricing strategy that attracts genuine buyers.
