Many properties are renting out straight away, others just a short time after listing them.
Closer to the CBD, units have been very popular with young couples and friends needing to get into these units and apartments over there break.
Period homes and townhouses with in the 5 – 15km radius are being leased straight away.
Houses in the outer areas also very popular, we cannot get enough 4 bedroom homes on our books, as soon as we open them we get multiple applications. (Great for our landlords)
Families are all hoping to get into their new properties prior to the new school term begins.
Homes and units that are updated, and have neat and low maintenance outdoor living areas are the more popular properties.
