National Vacancy Rates - September 2024
What it Means for Property Investors
In September 2024, Australia's rental vacancy rates slightly dropped to 1.2%, reflecting a tight rental market with increased demand across various regions. According to the latest data from SQM Research, the total number of rental vacancies decreased to 37,932, down from 39,665 in August.
This shift was largely driven by areas such as Perth, Canberra, Hobart, and regional Australia.
As an investor, these trends highlight the ongoing opportunities within the Australian property market. Here’s what the latest vacancy data reveals:
Key Insights into National Vacancy Rates:
The Rental Market’s Effect on Investors:
With a national vacancy rate of just 1.2%, this data underscores a severe rental shortage that has persisted for several years. Louis Christopher, Managing Director of SQM Research, emphasised that the rental crisis is unlikely to ease in the near future due to strong migration growth and a lack
of sufficient new housing supply.
For investors, this continued demand presents a lucrative opportunity for rental yield and capital growth. While some cities like Melbourne are seeing slight softening in rental demand, areas such as Perth and Brisbane remain strong performers, with rental prices increasing by 1.7% and 1.5%,
respectively, over the past month.
Conclusion: Navigating the Tight Rental Market
As Australia faces ongoing challenges with housing supply and rapid population growth, property investors have a unique opportunity to capitalise on the high demand for rental properties. High-growth areas like Perth, Brisbane, and regional Australia present solid opportunities for those
seeking to maximise rental yields in the current market conditions.
