What is a good cap rate in 2026… and are most investors getting it completely wrong? In this episode of the Commercial Property Show Australia, we break down one of the most misunderstood metrics in commercial property investing, cap rates. But this is not just theory. We unpack what investors should actually be targeting across each major asset class in today’s market and how interest rates, risk, and tenant demand are reshaping return expectations right now. If you are buying, analysing, or negotiating commercial deals in 2026, this episode will recalibrate how you assess value and risk across office, retail, and industrial property. Key topics we cover What a market cap rate really represents and how it reflects investor risk appetite • The relationship between interest rates and cap rate movements • Why negatively geared commercial property is a dangerous strategy • Cap rate expectations for office, retail, and industrial sectors in 2026 • How supply constraints and tenancy demand are driving industrial property performance Whether you are transitioning from residential, building a cash flow portfolio, or sharpening your acquisition strategy, this episode will help you benchmark deals more accurately and avoid overpaying in shifting markets.
