The Government’s announced it’s giving businesses more power to make ‘citizen’s arrests’. Up until now, citizen’s arrests could only happen between 9pm and 6am, for crimes with a maximum punishment of at least three years in prison. But the changes mean people can intervene and stop any offence at any time of the day, by using restraints and ‘reasonable’ force. Retail crime costs New Zealand retailers $2.6 billion each year. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says retail crime rose 85% between 2019 and 2023, including a 91% increase in victimisations relating to theft. Today on The Front Page, we speak to Retail NZ’s Carolyn Young about the rise of retail crime, and later Labour’s police spokesperson Ginny Andersen, who is criticising the government for the changes.

Episode Notes:Title: Market Imbalances, Grocery Retail Boom & The Fed's Next MoveHosts: Bryn Feller and Isaiah HarfEpisode Overview: In this episode of Net Takeaways, Bryn and Isaiah cover major trends in the commercial real estate market, focusing on key shifts in supply and demand imbalances, the grocery retail segment, and the Federal Reserve's influence on market movements. Here are the main takeaways:1. Market Supply-Demand ImbalanceThe hosts analyze the growing inventory in the net lease retail market, which has surged from $9 billion in 2022 to over $24 billion in 2024.The imbalance between available inventory and actual sales is stark, with projected full-year sales for 2024 at just over $10 billion, representing only 40% of the available inventory.Bryn and Isaiah discuss how cap rates need to rise further to help clear inventory and create stability in the marketplace.2. Grocery Retail: The Hottest SegmentGrocery-anchored retail is the current "hot" segment in commercial real estate, drawing interest from institutional investors, family offices, and private investors.The trio of grocery real estate categories—single-tenant, multi-tenant, and shadow-anchored centers—perform differently, with all segments remaining strong despite inflation concerns.The hosts attribute the strength of the grocery sector to its essential nature in driving foot traffic and supporting service-based retail, which has helped brick-and-mortar retail stay relevant.3. Shrinking 1031 Exchange Participation1031 exchanges, which previously accounted for 60-65% of the net lease market, are now down to around 15-20%.The hosts explore how the market is adapting to fewer tax-motivated investors and the emergence of yield-motivated buyers. They predict that 2025 will be a banner year for opportunistic investors, with substantial profits likely in both retail and office sectors.4. Federal Reserve, 10-Year Treasury & Geopolitical RisksBryn and Isaiah discuss how the market has pre-empted the Federal Reserve's actions, with the 10-year treasury yield reacting more to economic forecasts than to the Fed's moves.They anticipate oil prices could rise further due to geopolitical tension in the Middle East, potentially leading to inflation spikes that could delay rate cuts.5. Lighthearted Banter:The episode concludes with a humorous segment about Hurricane Milton, the hosts' personal routines, and a reference to BJ's late grandfather. Despite the seriousness of the storm's impact, the conversation provides a fun and humanizing moment.Key Quotes:"The real 800-pound gorilla isn't Chairman Powell, it's inventory levels. Cap rates have to rise if we want to clear this stock.""Grocery-anchored retail is the hottest thing out there right now. It's the industrial of three years ago.""2025 will be the year we look back and say people made a killing by buying in this market."Actionable Takeaways:Investors should keep a close eye on cap rate movements as the market seeks balance.Grocery-anchored retail remains a safe bet for long-term growth and stability.While the future of 1031 exchanges remains uncertain, yield-based investment opportunities abound.Be mindful of the impact that global events, particularly oil prices, may have on inflation and the Fed's next moves.Next Episode Preview: In the next episode, BJ and Isaiah will dive into new trends in logistics real estate and discuss whether the industrial sector will continue its upward trajectory or face new headwinds.Closing Remarks: Like, share, and subscribe to Net Takeaways with Feller & Harf on your favorite podcast platform.

You could set it at a hundred pounds; You could set it at ten grand. And then all the new partners come in, and they put in that amount of money. And then, you go to the bank to fill in the rest of the gap as long as one of the original parts pays the partner who's either staying or leaving. It's very hard to fight the ego of more locations because that's just, I can remember when we would get the business cards, and our big excitement was putting more, putting a cringe at it. Now, this is 25 years ago, but the excitement was getting new business cards with your new, with your new location. Yeah. Rather than the excitement of sitting down and going, we are going to have a process for everything. The opportunity is bigger than ever because people will sit in coffee shops. We were doing it 150 years ago. We will do it 150 years today. It'll be slightly different, better coffee, or whatever. And maybe some form of robot stuff will happen in terms of the, but this piece is what it's all about. If you don't know what you're doing, yes, and you think it's going to be easy, don't do it. Or have somebody who genuinely knows what they're doing. Resources Buying a business is only the start, which is why we are now teaching what happens next on the Mastermind program.

As "retail experts" point out a hopeful forecast of recovery for downtown San Francisco and Westfield Mall by 2024, a hearty laugh ensues from real estate aficionados who are privy to the ground reality. Picture this - Westfield Mall, once the crown jewel of downtown San Francisco, now echoes with the whispers of abandonment. Nordstrom has shut down, leaving a glaring vacancy, while the Century Cinema, a once-loved but quiet theater, has permanently closed its doors. The glossy sheen of optimistic retail real estate analysts proclaiming "empty storefronts as opportunities for emerging brands" fails to hide the city's rotting infrastructure.Remember, these are the streets that make third-world countries appear pristine, plagued by crime rates that even the poorest countries wouldn't boast about. It's a tough sell, folks, even for the seasoned retail agents. Yet, amidst the pessimistic outlook, there is a whiff of resilience. Real estate veterans, undeterred by the gloom, emphasize it's a buyer's market, with opportunities for new entrants. Unfortunately, these new entrants may find themselves stepping over human excrement in the elevators, as they inspect their so-called "opportunity." It is, as they say, a diamond in the rough, but with the rough edges too jagged to overlook. Despite the recent blow to the Westfield Mall, it stands tall, weathering the storm, its condition still commendable if you can turn a blind eye to its immediate surroundings.Despite the safety concerns, the mall keeps generating sales, standing as a testament to its former glory. The growing vacuum of empty spaces can become interesting attractions, some optimists assert, emphasizing the need for non-traditional uses. These novel uses, however, will only serve as a band-aid to the gaping wound unless the underlying issue of public safety is tackled head-on. As the West Coast grapples with this situation, we are left to wonder whether the promise of 2024 will come to fruition or if it will remain a pipe dream.#UrbanDecay #RetailRealities #SanFranCrisisNEWS FOR REASONABLE PEOPLE MERCH STORE: Reasonable TVSupport the show
