According to CoreLogic’s quarterly Rental Review, Adelaide is the country’s most affordable rental market, claiming the title of cheapest suburb with Elizabeth South tenants paying just $317 on the median.

Each state’s most affordable houses to rent ranged from Melon in Victoria ($351), Tregear in Sydney ($404), Russell Island in Brisbane ($364), Medina in Perth ($372), Primrose Sands in Hobart ($442) and Moulden in Darwin ($500).

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Canberra remains the most expensive capital city rental market, with the median dwelling renting for $651 per week followed by Sydney ($604), Darwin ($561), Hobart ($521), Brisbane ($507) and Melbourne at $456 per week.

The tony eastern suburb of Vaucluse is Australia’s most expensive for house rentals with a weekly rent of $2308.

Sydney’s Point Piper is also the country’s most expensive rent for units at $1086 compared to Orelia, 40km south of Perth, which has the country’s most affordable median unit rent at $258 per week.

The quarterly Rental Review shows the national rental index increased 1.9% during the December quarter. Rents have risen 9.4% to December nationally.

Elsewhere, regional rents continued to outpace capital city rents in the fourth quarter — regional dwellings up 2.5% against the 1.6% rise in capital city rents, taking the annual regional rental growth rate t0 12.1%.

London’s Luxury Property Market Turns a Corner

After more than a year, prices have finally levelled out in prime central London, while outer London saw a small uptick in high-end prices from the previous quarter

The first quarter of the year brought some long-awaited signs of recovery in London’s luxury housing market, offering the first positive quarterly price growth since September 2022, according to a report from Savills on Wednesday.

After six consecutive quarterly price falls, luxury home prices in central London levelled out in the first three months of the year, with a 0.1% quarterly uptick in prices. The £3 million to £5 million (US$3.79 million to US$6.32 million) market saw a slightly larger increase of 0.3%.

Outer London’s luxury market saw greater quarterly price growth, with home prices up 0.8%, as some stability returned to mortgage costs and lured more buyers back to the market, according to the report.

All of this is evidence that the market is “in early stages of recovery,” according to Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills.

“The outlook for the housing market has certainly improved, partly because the mortgage market has recovered more quickly than expected,” Cook said in the report. “With the first rate cut rapidly coming into view and recessionary risks easing, greater stability has returned to the cost of mortgage debt, which has positively impacted domestic prime markets, where many buyers rely on borrowing, most notably in leafy outer prime South and West London, as well as the commuter belt.”

Outside of London, prices across the U.K. saw no quarterly growth heading into the beginning of the spring market, which is expected to bring higher levels of buyer activity in many regions.

Suburban regions saw prices dip just 0.1%, while urban areas—like Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, and Bath and Oxford in England—saw prices increase by 0.6%.

Cook said regional buyers are more likely to be concerned about market uncertainty than London buyers in the lead up to the general election.

“As a result, buyers are still expected to be less committed until the dust has settled,” he said.
