Anecdotal data shows home and apartment renters since coming out of the Covid-19 lockdown have faced the longest stretch of rent rises in the city's history. The Third Hand in a recent interview with Metro Cities Media noted that there are now signs the market is slowing as tenants reach the limits of their ability to meet increasing prices.
The recently released Domain Rental Report, shows Sydney renters are paying an average of $720 a week for houses and $680 a week for units. This represents a $70 increase for houses and a $130 increase for units compared to the same time last year.
The troubling revelation also in this report shows that the city is facing its lowest ever vacancy rate at 0.9 per cent, meaning fewer options and less bargaining power for those looking for rental accommodation. Nicola Powell, chief of research and economics at Domain, said the reported figures represented the worst conditions for renters in Sydney's history.
Mr Angelo Boliaris Founder of The Third Hand said this when interviewed by Metro Cities Media, βIn recent years Sydney has experienced the longest run of rent rises but there are definite signs the run is flattening out. Properties we are aware of that were being snapped up only months earlier by renters are now taking longer to let.β
The Third Hand believe there is growing evidence that the trajectory of the rise in rental prices over the past two years is simply not sustainable as wage rises are not keeping pace with the sharp rise in the cost of living and its impact on household budgets.
