“House and unit rents are now at record highs, with a strong gain of $15 a week over the September quarter. House rents are now at $415 and unit rents $395 a week. Brisbane is the fourth most affordable capital city to rent a unit. Brisbane unit rents could overtake Melbourne in the coming months, as Melbourne unit rents tumble pushing the rent price gap to $5 between the two cities - a four year low,” Domain Senior Research Analyst, Dr Nicola Powell said.
“Amid the pandemic, the estimated number of vacant rentals has returned to expected levels following a dramatic bounce in April. Brisbane’s vacancy rate is on par with pre-pandemic March, with the volume of empty rentals down marginally compared to this time last year. The reduction in available vacant rentals aligns to the easing of restrictions.” Source:
