Brisbane Rental Market Update June 2019
Brisbane has been a standout strong performer amongst each of the state capitals in June’s rental market update. It continues a steady increase that has been observed across 2019 in both apartment and housing rentals.
Median Rent
Of all the state capitals, this month Brisbane saw a rise in both apartment and housing medium rent. While other cities were either declining or stagnating in one or both property types, Brisbane saw an increase of 1.3% to $400pw in apartments and 1.2% to $430pw in housing. This shows a continuation on May’s steady rental pricing increase trend.
Price Per Room
For apartments, Brisbane has seen a substantial increase in the price per room when compared to June 2018. There has been a year over year change of 3% to $231. However, houses have seen only a slight increase compared with June 2018. The year over year growth of the price per room of houses has only been a slight 0.60% to $138. This shows the continued strength of Brisbane’s evolving apartment rental market, with a sustainable level of new developments entering the market.
Time on market
Both apartments and houses are spending less time empty on average across Brisbane. On both a monthly and a year over year comparison, properties across Brisbane are filling faster than ever. Apartments have seen a 15% monthly decrease in time on the market and a 17% decrease year over year. This brings apartments close to the two-week mark at only 19 days spent on the market.
