Australia’s rental crisis has continued to ease in the past year: The national average rental growth rate has further declined from 6.9% to 5.7% per annum; The national average vacancy rate has slightly increased from 0.8% to 1.0%. However, an eased crisis is still a crisis, and it is far from over. Over two-thirds of Australia’s SA3 regions’ vacancy rates are still below 1.0%.
Each year, the InvestorKit research team reviews the rental market pressure across Australia’s 330+ SA3 regions to identify the tightest rental markets. We examine the rental market pressure based on a range of indicators, including vacancy rate, economic performance, long-term growth, supply level, rental yield, affordability, and more. In this year’s edition, we present 20 SA3s, spanning both capital cities and regional areas, where the data points to above-average rental growth over the coming year.
For each of the regions, we go through their rental demand and supply indicators, long-term and short-term market pressure, rental affordability, and rental price trends. Click the button below to meet the 20 regions!
