House and unit rentals have resumed upward growth after flat results over the previous two quarters. National median weekly asking rents for houses rose by +1.1 percentin the December quarter with rents for units rising by +1.4 percent.

Most capital cities recorded house rental rises over the quarter with Canberra up by +6.4 percent, Brisbane up +2.7 percent, Perth up +2.6, Adelaide up +1.5 percentand Sydney up +1.0 percent. Melbourne, Darwin and Hobart however recorded flat results with no increases in median asking weekly house rentals over the December quarter.

The results for units were similar to houses, with Hobart recording a rental rise of +3.0 percentfollowed by Brisbane up +2.8 percent, Canberra up +2.3 percent, Sydney and Darwin both up +2.2 percent, and Adelaide where median weekly asking rentals for units rose by +1.8 percentover the quarter. Melbourne and Perth unit rentals however remained flat over the period.

Increased rentals over the December quarter for both houses and units indicates increased competition for accommodation particularly from first home buyers struggling to secure property in the marketplace.

The Sydney, Perth and Canberra rental markets have been characterised by chronically low vacancy rates and, with ongoing low levels of new construction, this situation is expected to continue with upward pressure on rentals.

The Brisbane rental market also remains highly competitive for tenants reflecting ongoing consequences of the devastating floodsof early 2011 and the slow progress of reconstruction.

　Melbourne continues to be Australia’s most tenant-friendly rental market with a wider choice of properties courtesy of nation-leading dwelling construction and no growth in rentals for both units and houses over the December quarter.

By contrast house rentals in Canberra rose by +6.4 percentover the year with Perth up by +5.3 percent, Sydney up +4.2 percentand Brisbane up by +2.7 percent. Darwin and Adelaide house rentals were flat over 2011 with Hobart recording a fall of -3.0 percent.
