I dont have anything vacant currently but am out hunting for another purchase, and I am surprised at not only the lack of people at open homes, but at the time on market for rental properties in suburbs where its usually busy.
I have looked at some places in streets and complexes around 2770 where there have been rentals listed since November last year at a reasonable rent that are vacant still.
I have been talking to my PM for a place in St Marys regarding terminating vs keeping a somewhat problem tenant, she advised that the area in general is very slow to let empty properties with little turnout to open for inspections. They are starting to get vacancies from people who cant afford the rent after job layoffs and are moving back in with family leaving empty stock behind. There are currently 4 pages of "for rent" on realestate.com.au for St Marys.
This is the general feedback I am also getting from sales agents about rental potential, they are between the lines saying it may take a month or more in the current market as people just arent moving house.
Anyone finding the rental market sluggish?
