The rise of the non-geocentric buying habit presents new risks for property investors and lenders. Furthermore, current techniques fail to anticipate the impact of online buying, giving developers and retailers potentially false signals on new store profitability. The pervasive belief wired customers will continue to shop in the same old way is an idea ready for the dustbin of history.
