The rental yields ranged from 2.42% to 11.25% at Bayleys' latest commercial property auction

Bayleys sold 11 of the 19 properties offered for sale at its recent commercial property auction, giving a clearance rate of 58%.

The net rental yields dropped well below 5% for the most sought after properties, with a tenanted commercial premises on a corner site in Takapuna selling for $2.07 million which provided a net yield of 2.42%, although that probably reflected the property's development potential, while a retail shop with a flat above it in Remuera's main shopping strip sold for $830,000, providing a yield of 3.79%.

At the other end of the scale two units in the Royal Oak Mall leased to a medical centre achieved a yield of 11.25% (see below for the full details from Bayleys recent commercial auction).

Institutional investors have also been active and Colliers (Peter Herdson and Andrew Reed) recently sold  Anitipodean Supermarkets' portfolio of 19 supermarkets to NZX-listed Stride Property (formerly DNZ) for $287 million.

The 19 supermarkets located from Invercargill to Auckland were all leased to Progressive Enterprises which operated them as Countdown outlets.

They had a combined net lettable area of 71,896 square metres and generated a passing income of $18.7 million.

Rounding out this week's commercial property sales was a vacant 78 square metre office suite with a car park at 2D Clyde St Epsom, which Knight Frank South Auckland broker Douglas Fan sold for $575,000.

You have some errors in your comments. For instance the property on Remuera Rd had a flat above whose income was not included. Hence the yield would be higher if the income from that was included
whether or not it was actually rented out at the time of sale. Likewise the Takapuna property was sold for the extra land so the yield as quoted is meaningless.

Thanks BD but you seem to have missed the bit about development potential  in the article: "with a tenanted commercial premises on a corner site in Takapuna selling for $2.07 million which provided a net yield of 2.42%, although that probably reflected the property's development potential ..."  and the yields are calculated on the actual selling price and the actual rent being received, not what they might be or could be, or someone would like them to be.

No argument about that. I was referring to the heading which gives a wrong impression.
Never mind. Just remember for next time.
