What will rents do in 2022?

Smart Property Investment’s Grace Ormsby catches up with CoreLogic’s head of Australian research Eliza Owen to dissect the current features of the Australian rental market and share what investors can expect over the next 12 months.

The pair query the sustainability of recent rental increases across some of Australia’s most in-demand locations and look to the external factors that will be at play; interest rate rises and a return of international travellers among them.

Eliza also explains the interrelationship between capital gains and rental yields and shares why recent gains across the board could start to stall over the coming months.
