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%.

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.

The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.

With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
