💡 Market Insights: CoreLogic Economist Kaytlin Ezzy says demand is now tilting towards unit and apartment living due to affordability concerns, particularly in capital cities.

The new reality is that it's more expensive to rent, even a unit, than it is to buy, in most suburbs in Australia. Whilst it may cost more to own than rent, owning is the way to create long term growth. It's easier to get $100,000 of capital growth than it is to save $100,000. If you are thinking about buying then get in touch to make this happen sooner. In this rising property market your delays are costing you. Your delay will mean a higher purchase price when you do decide to buy. Let me help you. #buyersagent

Rental market cooling Australia's median weekly rent rose by just 0.1% in July, which was the slowest rental growth in four years, according to CoreLogic. As a result, annual rental growth slowed to 7.8%, compared to 8.6% three months earlier. During the past five years, rents have jumped 39.7%, and CoreLogic economist Kaitlyn Ezzy said many tenants were now tapped out. “With tenants unable to borrow more to cover rent, many are turning to alternatives such as shared housing, relocation to more affordable areas, or leaving the rental market altogether and buying their own homes,” she said. Nevertheless, rents are unlikely to decline. “Low supply will likely continue to put upward pressure on rents, albeit at a slower pace,” she added. #property #realestate #homeloans
