Investment Property Yields

Both the house and unit aspect of rental yields have increased over the past 12 months. This is in part a reflection in the median value decline in recent months – reducing the yield as a % and as an increase in the actual rental demand for the area. The Sydney market is experiencing a tight rental market, which in effect has increased rental rates by 10% over the past 12 months. This places landlords in a better position as they negotiate new leases for new and existing tenants. Due to the ongoing housing pressures on new stock, additional immigration into the area and interest rate pressures – we would anticipate this yield growth to maintain.
