As 2023 concluded, the Australian property landscape witnessed a moderated growth in property prices, with a 8.1% increase in dwelling values. However, this trend was influenced by various factors, including interest rate fluctuations and the balance of supply and demand in different regions. Looking ahead to 2024, investor demand is anticipated to rise, driven by the country’s extremely low vacancy rates. According to SQM Research, the national vacancy rates remained low at 1.3% in December, underscoring the ongoing need for more housing across Australia. This persistent low vacancy rate signals a robust demand for rental properties, creating an attractive environment for property investors.
