New AHURI research has critically analysed Australian private rental vacancy rates (RVR) for the first time.
The research investigates the different methodologies, strengths and limitations of RVRs, and how it is used and interpreted.
“When a 3% vacancy rate is generally the benchmark for a ‘healthy’ rental market, variations between outputs can paint very different pictures,” says lead researcher, Margaret Reynolds. “This can have implications for state governments and developers, which take RVRs into consideration when deciding when and where to build housing.”
As we all know, AHURI is a leader in Australia who continuously deliver premium information that is backed by incredulous data, and the LMHN is proud to provide you with up to date reports and critical information that affects our work in the housing and homelessness space.
