Sydney siders have seen their weekly rental cost climb yet again, despite new figures revealing prices have stalled in most other cities across the country.
the average cost of renting a dwelling in sydney has risen by 1.8 per cent in the december quarter, the second highest lift in prices across the country after melbourne, where rent rose 2.3 per cent according to the latest report.
nationally, prices have remained the same at an average of $480 per week, while the cost of a dwelling in sydney has reached $560 per week – a 7.7 per cent increase from the end of 2021.
queues outside rental properties open for inspection have become common place in sydney.
rental costs will be “something to watch” in 2023 said mr. peter detong from town & country real estate, who also says the ongoing lack of supply is likely to continue pushing up prices throughout the year, and “vacancy rates in sydney are still very low,” he said.
“inquiries are still very strong for rental accommodation, the number of properties available for rent is still very low and the properties are leaving the market very quickly.”
Mr. peter detong said the figure was “not at all surprising” and matched what he had heard from renters around the city.
“over christmas, things tend to be quiet, but it also means it’s been very difficult for people to find a home when they are being moved around.”
the median cost for renting a dwelling in sydney is $560 per week. for a unit it’s $530 and for a house that cost jumps to $630 per week.
despite the city seeing a rise in costs across all dwellings on average, the cost of renting a house specifically fell by 3.1 per cent in the december quarter to now sit at $630 per week. while this may appear to be a silver lining for larger households, mr. peter detong said it was likely more a reflection that people were moving from homes to units than an indication prices had finally peaked.
“what’s happened is people are getting a lot more price sensitive, but they’re also becoming more willing to live in the inner city areas and in units,” mr. peter detong said.
“so in order to try and save costs, people are looking to move out of houses and into units where they can make a fairly significant saving on their rent.”
the median price for renting a unit is $100 less per week than a house in sydney.
mr peter detong blames a mismatch between the type of housing needed in the community and what the housing market is providing.
the vacancy rate in sydney sat at 1.4 per cent in november 2022, according to the research, a large drop on its high of 4.3 per cent in may 2020.
mr. peter detong blames inconsistency in housing for the lack of supply in sydney.
“what we have is a mismatch between what the community needs and what the market is supplying,” he said.
“we have historically been building enough properties, but what is not matched is what people need both in terms of kind of the location, the quality, and size, and the markets providing.”
in nsw’s regional areas, the trend has moved the other way, with no change to the cost of dwellings through the december quarter and a fall of 3.8 per cent for houses with the median rent for a home now sitting at $500 per week.
悉尼的每周租金再次攀升,尽管新数据显示全国大多数其他城市的房价已经停滞不前。
根据最新的数据显示,悉尼的平均住房租金在12月季度上涨了1.8%,是仅次于墨尔本的全国第二高房价上涨,墨尔本的租金上涨了2.3%。
在全国范围内,价格保持不变,平均每周480澳元,而悉尼的住宅费用达到每周560澳元,比2021年底上涨7.7%。
在悉尼,开放参观的出租物业外排队已成为司空见惯。
2023年,租金成本将是“值得关注的”。来自town & country real estate的peter detong也表示,持续的供应不足可能会继续推高全年的价格。悉尼的空置率仍然很低,“他说。对出租房屋的需求仍然非常强烈,可供出租的房屋数量仍然很少,这些房屋正在迅消失。
Peter先生还说“租赁联盟首席执行官利奥·帕特森·罗斯表示,这些数据“一点也不令人惊”,与他从平时租房者那里听到的数据相符。
“在圣诞节期间,事情往往很安静,但这也意味着人们在搬家时很难找到出租的房屋。
在悉尼租一套房子的中位数费用是每周560澳元,套公寓房来说是530澳元,别墅房子来说,价格跃升至每周630澳元。
尽管该市所有住房的平均成本都在上涨,但12月季度的租房成本下降了3.1%至于目前的每周630澳元。虽然这对于大家庭来说似乎是一线希望,但peter童先生表示,这可能更多地反映了人们正在从别墅搬到公寓,而不是价格最终达到顶峰的迹象。
“事实是人们对价格越来越敏感,但他们也越来越愿意住在内城区的公寓里” ,peter童先生说。
因此,“为了节省成本,人们希望搬出房屋,搬进可以节省租金的公寓居住”。公寓租房的中位数价格每周比悉尼的别墅低100澳元。
peter童先生指责社区所需租赁房类型与住房市场提供的租赁房类型不匹配。
根据市场数据显示,悉尼的空置率在 2022 年 11 月为 1.4%,比 2020 年 5 月的高点 4.3% 大幅下降。
peter童先生将悉尼供应不足归咎于租赁房的不一致。
我们所拥有的是社区需求与市场供应之间的不匹配,“他说。
“我们历来一直在建造足够的房产,但不匹配的是人们在位置、质量和规模以及提供的市场方面的各种需求。
在新南威尔士州各地区,这一趋势则相反,整个12月季度的住房成本没有变化,房屋租金中位数目前为每周500澳元的房屋价格下降了3.8%。
