🏘️ Tight Rental Markets Continue to Challenge Tenants Across Australia 📉 Australia's rental market is feeling the squeeze with the national #vacancy rate remaining at a low 1.0% for March, unchanged from February and consistently low over the past two years, as reported by SQM Research. This prolonged tightness points to a market heavily skewed in favor of property investors. 📊 A balanced #rental market typically sees vacancy rates between 2-3%. With current levels well below this range, the environment is creating significant upward pressure on rent prices, leaving tenants with fewer options and higher costs. 🏠💸 #iSQMResearch predicts that while there might be a slight seasonal increase in vacancy rates during the cooler months, the overall tight conditions are expected to persist through 2024. This trend is primarily due to a drop in new dwelling completions even as demand continues to grow. 📈 This ongoing tightness in rental vacancies underscores the importance of strategic investment and property management. Are you adjusting your strategies to navigate this landlords' market? #RentalMarket #PropertyInvestment #HousingTrends

OUT NOW | Colliers Office Middle Markets | Australian Investment Review | H1 2024 The first half of 2024 has been marked by relative stability in the office market, reflecting the stabilisation of borrowing costs. Despite modest growth in transaction volumes for office sales in the $10-$50 million range, significant increases were observed in the $50-$150 million bracket, driving total sales volume to $2 billion. The investment landscape has been influenced by varying investor and geographic profiles, with notable shifts in market activity and capitalisation rates. This period also saw a slowdown in offshore capital deployment and a reshuffling of active markets, with Queensland surpassing Victoria in transaction activity. As global monetary policies begin to ease, the outlook for the remainder of 2024 is bright, with expectations of increased deal volumes and a robust conclusion to the year for the Australian Office Middle Markets sector. Our team are proud to be the only agency dedicated to pioneering and publishing insightful research exclusively tailored to the Office Middle Markets sector.

Last Hurdle on CPI proving difficult - REIA Read the latest on inflation, housing costs, and what it means for interest rates. Laing+Simmons CEO and President of Real Estate Institute of Australia Leanne Pilkington breaks down the numbers and offers insight on what's really happening in the Australian economy. Get the full picture below. Key takeaways: • Consumer prices rose 3.6% in the year to April. While this seems high, it's a common challenge globally as countries work to bring inflation down to target ranges. • Key price increases in these areas: Housing up 4.9%, Food and drinks up 3.8%, Alcohol & tobacco up 6.5%, Transport up 4.2%. • Rent increases are slowing down! And increased Commonwealth Rent Assistance has helped to keep rent manageable. • While inflation is still high, other economic signs point to a cooling economy. • Retail sales are at their lowest in years. This mixed data makes predicting future trends challenging. • Higher inflation likely won't increase interest rates, but might delay cuts. Looking ahead, the government's 2.5% year-end inflation target looks optimistic. We expect interest rate drops to be delayed, not reversed. #realestateinsights #sydneypropertymarket
