However, persistently high demand and low supply in the housing market still pose challenges for those looking to rent. Domain&#039;s rental report shows that in the three months to December, median rents in capital cities remained at a record high of $600, up 9.11% year-on-year.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents Overview<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/ausrent2024\/#%E7%8F%80%E6%96%AF%E5%8F%8A%E5%B8%83%E9%87%8C%E6%96%AF%E7%8F%AD%E5%96%AE%E4%BD%8D%E7%A7%9F%E9%87%91%E5%8D%87%E5%8B%A2%E5%BC%B7%E5%8B%81\" >Perth and Brisbane unit rents see strong growth<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/ausrent2024\/#2024%E5%B9%B4%E9%A0%90%E8%A8%88%E6%8C%81%E7%BA%8C%E6%94%BE%E7%B7%A9\" >The slowdown is expected to continue in 2024<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-151950.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-151950.png 800w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-151950-300x269.png 300w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-151950-768x688.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E7%8F%80%E6%96%AF%E5%8F%8A%E5%B8%83%E9%87%8C%E6%96%AF%E7%8F%AD%E5%96%AE%E4%BD%8D%E7%A7%9F%E9%87%91%E5%8D%87%E5%8B%A2%E5%BC%B7%E5%8B%81\"><\/span>Perth and Brisbane unit rents see strong growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Domain Group chief research and economist Dr Nicola Powell said the rental market in 2023 would be highly competitive and more favourable for landlords. &quot;This year has been a year of housing crisis, with record-low vacancy rates leading to consecutive (and record) increases in asking rents,&quot; she said. However, she also noted that this was the first time in nearly three years that capital city rents remained flat, ending a streak of 10 consecutive quarters of record growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But trends varied across the major capitals. &quot;Melbourne and Adelaide saw the highest rent growth ever for houses, and Brisbane and Canberra for units,&quot; Nicola said. Sydney was the most expensive city to rent both houses and units, at $730 and $680 per week respectively. Hobart and Melbourne were the cheapest cities to rent houses, at $550 per week, while Adelaide and Hobart tied for the cheapest for units, at $450 per week. Perth led the nation in rent growth, with houses increasing by $171,000 per week to $620 per week and units increasing by $182,000 per week to $520 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-152012.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-152012.png 801w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-152012-300x269.png 300w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-152012-768x689.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"803\" height=\"715\" src=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-160025.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-160025.png 803w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-160025-300x267.png 300w, https:\/\/anp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-11-160025-768x684.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 803px) 100vw, 803px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2024%E5%B9%B4%E9%A0%90%E8%A8%88%E6%8C%81%E7%BA%8C%E6%94%BE%E7%B7%A9\"><\/span>The slowdown is expected to continue in 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While asking rents are unlikely to drop significantly, Powell expects rent increases to slow in 2024, leading to improved conditions for potential tenants. &quot;It&#039;s impossible for rents to continue to rise at the current rate, especially in 2022 and early 2023, which suggests it&#039;s not sustainable in the long term,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;However, these conditions remain challenging for tenants and we cannot lose sight of that. Vacancy rates remain low, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory... but I would expect the pace of rental growth to be much lower than it is in 2022.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powell said the introduction of homebuyer incentives by several state governments, such as the Help to Buy scheme, which shares benefits with new homeowners, and the Queensland government&#039;s doubling of the first-time homebuyer grant, would provide more hope for tenants hoping to buy a home. Powell estimated that an additional 30,000 to 60,000 rental properties would be needed to stabilize the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;We&#039;ve also noticed increased talk about interest rate cuts this year, which would have a significant impact because if we saw a rate cut, it would mean increased borrowing capacity, potentially allowing some tenants to afford mortgages and buy homes sooner,&quot; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;There are a lot of changes in the environment going into 2024 that suggest we&#039;re moving away from the period of extreme rent increases that we&#039;ve seen over the past few years... I do think tenants will be finding better deals in 2024.&quot;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6700\u65b0\u4e00\u5b63\u7684\u6fb3\u6d32\u5404\u5927\u57ce\u5e02\u5c4b\u79df\u5728\u904e\u53bb\u4e09\u5e74\u4e2d\u9996\u6b21\u653e\u7de9\uff0c\u5c0d\u65bc\u6b63\u5728\u5c0b\u623f\u7684\u79df\u6236\u53ef\u80fd\u662f\u500b\u597d\u6d88\u606f\u3002\u7136\u800c\uff0c\u6a13\u5e02\u6301\u7e8c\u7684\u9ad8\u9700\u6c42\u548c\u4f4e\u4f9b [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[64,65,62,63,33],"class_list":["post-1003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-34","tag-64","tag-65","tag-62","tag-63","tag-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1003"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1009,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1003\/revisions\/1009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1003"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anp-au.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
