Single-person households are on the rise, accounting for a significant 25% of all households in Australia. This trend shows no signs of slowing down, and experts project a continued growth in single-person households, reaching an estimated 3 to 3.5 million over the next two decades. This surge underscores the increasing demand for housing options tailored to individual occupants.
Rooming house properties represent a form of shared accommodation, offering private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and often including living and kitchenette facilities akin to a compact, one-bedroom unit or apartment. These properties appeal to tenants seeking affordable, adaptable, and hassle-free living arrangements that align with their lifestyles and requirements.
Many rooming houses are strategically situated in suburban areas, providing proximity to transportation, shopping centres, restaurants, cafes, and community hubs—making them an enticing choice for tenants.
Typical rooming house tenants encompass young professionals, students, digital nomads, entrepreneurs, creatives, and seniors who prioritise convenience, connectivity, and collaboration.
For investors, rooming house properties offer a compelling value proposition. They present a high-yield, low-risk, and forward-looking investment opportunity. Rooming house properties consistently maintain higher occupancy rates, lower vacancy rates, and reduced turnover compared to traditional rentals. This aligns with the burgeoning demand for affordable and flexible housing solutions in urban settings.
Additionally, rooming house properties often boast higher capital growth potential, given their prime locations with access to transportation, education, employment, and entertainment hubs.
