Rental availability increases across Sydney
18 September 2018
Vacancy rates have risen across Sydney, according to Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) research.
REINSW President, Leanne Pilkington, says the August 2018 R
EINSW Vacancy Rate Survey
saw metropolitan Sydney vacancy rates up 0.2 percentage points at 3.0 per cent.
'Vacancy rates in Middle and Outer Sydney are both at 3.1 per cent, an increase of 2.0 percentage points and 4.0 percentage points respectively," she says. "In Inner Sydney, vacancy rates rose 2.0 percentage points to 2.9 per cent.
"We have seen a steady and relatively consistent rise in vacancy rates across Sydney as a string of developments reach completion creating an oversupply in the marketplace.
"As a result, rents are falling and properties are staying longer on the market than usual."
In the Hunter, vacancy rates rose 0.1 percentage points to 1.8 per cent, despite Newcastle’s slide of 0.1 percentage points at 2.1 per cent. The Illawarra remained steady at 2.0 per cent with Wollongong’s vacancy rates also unchanged at 2.0 per cent.
Across regional areas, Coffs Harbour rose 0.9 percentage points to 3.8 per cent, Central Coast increased 0.5 percentage points to 2.5 per cent and the Riverina rose 0.3 percentage points to 3.4 per cent. The Northern Rivers slipped 0.3 percentage points at 1.0 per cent.
