Herron Todd White noted the strong Sydney market over the last year.

"The retail market in Sydney has seen substantial growth over the past 12 months as a result of increased demand for good investment assets, growth in rental income and generally lower vacancy rates," the report suggested.

They believe the next 12 months will follow the same trend.

Melbourne's retail market performed in similar fashion

Herron Todd White noted it was duo to limited quality stock available and strengthening purchaser demand.

Brisbane are declining after feeling the loss of major retailers departure.

"The recently announced massive headline loss by the Myer Group and the troubles surrounding the Retail Food Group have intensified the focus on the retail sector and it is generally perceived as having the highest risk profile of all principal asset classes," Herron Todd White said of the Brisbane retail market.
