Sydney

Stability appears to have returned to the Sydney rental market in 2021, with house and unit rents holding steady over the March quarter. House asking rents remain at the record high of $550 per week, 3.8 per cent higher than last year. Unit rents hold at $470 a week over the March quarter, a marked change following the decline over the previous three consecutive quarters. However unit rents have recorded the steepest annual fall since Domain records began in 2004, tumbling 9.6 per cent, a $50 a week reduction, compared to the same period last year. Sydney unit rents are still at 2013 prices and remain $80 lower than the record high achieved in 2018. Unit rents have been falling annually since 2018 as increased development and investment activity started to provide greater choice for tenants. The pandemic has also created opportunities for tenants to move further afield or become homeowners and reduced rental demand from overseas has weighed more heavily on unit rents.

Sydney’s rental market remains varied depending upon property type and location. House rental conditions are tighter compared to units, and prices have become more competitive in the outer suburbs. Central Coast house and unit asking rents have pushed to record highs. Northern Beaches, Sutherland, outer south west, outer west and Blue Mountains house rents are also commanding record high asking rents. Inner suburbs have been the centre of weak rental conditions. House rents in the eastern suburbs remain $100 a week lower annually and units are down $70. Unit rents in the city and inner south are down $90 a week and in North Sydney and Hornsby down $80 a week compared to the same period last year. Rents in these particular areas are now steady or have increased over the quarter. A continued improvement hinges on the opening of international borders and the return of overseas migrants and foreign students.

2021年，悉尼租赁市场似乎恢复了稳定，3月份独立屋和公寓租金保持稳定。独立屋租金仍维持在每周550澳币的历史高位，比去年高出3.8%。3月份公寓租金为每周470美元，这和前三个季度的下降的下降相比，还是发生了显著变化。然而，与去年同期相比，公寓租金创下了自2004年Domain开始有记录以来，最大的年度降幅，下降了9.6%，即每周下降50澳币。悉尼的公寓租金仍维持在2013年的价格，比2018年创下的历史高点低80澳币。自 2018 年以来，公寓租金逐年下降，这是由于项目开发和投资活动的增加，为租客提供更大的选择。疫情的爆发也为租客创造了搬到更远的地方住或成为业主的机会，而来自海外的租金需求减少对公寓租金的影响更大。

悉尼的房屋出租市场因房产类型和位置而异。与公寓相比，独立屋租赁情况更为紧张，悉尼周边区房价也出现竞争性上涨。中央海岸的独立屋和公寓的挂牌租金已经推至创纪录的高点。北部海滩、萨瑟兰、外西南区、外西区和蓝山地区的独立屋租金也创下历史新高。内城区的租赁情况一直不理想。东郊的独立屋租金比一年前仍低100澳币，公寓则下降70澳币。与去年同期相比，悉尼中心区和市区南部地区的公寓租金每周下降90澳币，北悉尼和霍恩斯比的公寓租金每周下降80美元。上述这些特定地区的租金现在已经稳定或在本季度有所上涨。进一步的改善取决于国际边界的开放以及海外移民和外国学生的返回。
