Clouds are finally starting to part for Australian tenants, with rents in most major cities either falling, stalling or growing at a slower pace. Low vacancy rates have pushed advertised rents higher for several months running but the latest report from real estate platform Domain shows conditions are improving for renters. Asking rents for houses fell 1.8 per cent in Hobart in the June quarter and held steady in Sydney and Perth, the report found.
Domain’s chief of research and economics Nicola Powell said rental market conditions would likely continue to ease, given vacancy rates were moving higher. Vacancy rates last month in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra hit six-month highs and in Perth a two-year landmark. “Secondly, rental demand is easing, as the number of prospective tenants per rental listing has consistently fallen throughout 2024,” Dr Powell said.
