A closer look

What the 2022 rental review found

0.7%

The average SA3 vacancy rate was 0.7% in March 2022, down 41% from 1.2% a year earlier.

19 of 20

19 of the 20 regions had vacancy rates below the national average. 11 of the 15 regional areas were under 0.3%.

116%

In the 15 years to Q3 2021, average house prices grew 116% while average rents grew 65%.

In early 2022, the national average vacancy rate has hit the lowest point since April 2006. The rental crisis has triggered substantial rental price growth in both capital cities and regional areas.
