You know what time it is, Wednesday market insight.
This week we will be discussing vacancy rates for a few post codes in Sydney, with a tables provided by SQM.
The three tables show vacancy rates from post codes 2750, 2774 and 2040, which all tell a different story over the last 1.5 years. At the start of 2019 2774 had the lowest vacancy rates 1.3% with 2040 3.7% and 2750 3.3%.
As we can see over the last year, the vacancy rates for 2 post codes have decreased and 1 has increased. This is highly influenced by covid and people trying to find cheaper rents.
Why vacancy rates? Vacancy rates gives you an idea of how many renters are in a market, which could push rents up because there is less options in the market. This is one fundamental when looking at property and why you are buying.
