This month’s data brings a big Happy New Year to Geelong’s rental market with a continued downward trend on the vacancy rate.
It’s fallen another .1 of a percent to 1.3% and that’s amazing given that only 12 months ago, it was steady at 2.2%.
Also, just like other months, Melbourne’s vacancy rate continues to grow – the Inner Melbourne rate is now a whopping 7.1% with the Melbourne total rate also higher again at 5.4%. These Melbourne numbers are very concerning, so it’s really good to be in the Geelong market at the present time.
The median weekly rental data in Geelong is similar to last month with 2 bedroom units having a median rent of $330 per week. 2 bedroom houses are unchanged with a median of rent of $330 per week and 3 bedroom houses are also unchanged at $380 per week.
