This is the 12th month of our unprecedented vacancy rates in Geelong, but rather than falling again, the new vacancy rate is 1.2% which is point-one-of-a-percent higher than last month.
Melbourne’s vacancy rate, on the other hand, looked like it was stabilising last month however, this month it has seen a huge rise where the Inner Melbourne category is now a MASSIVE 8.4%. Even the Melbourne Total measure is huge at 6.5%.
But back home again, the rental price data in Geelong is steady. 2 bedroom units remain at their new high with a median rent of $340 per week, 3 bedroom houses also remain steady with a median of $380 per week, but 2 bedroom houses have risen $10 per week at now sit at their new high of $340 per week.
Both the vacancy rate and the rental figures are evident in our daily interaction with leasing – properties are continuing to move fast and more and more people are moving to Geelong for lifestyle reasons so we’re always looking to match renters with rental providers.
