Your property management market update for April – June 2025
As we wrap up the 2024/25 financial year, the rental market across the Northern Beaches and Lower North Shore continues to deliver strong, stable returns for investors – underpinned by tight vacancy rates, rising rents and sustained tenant demand.
We’re continuing to achieve strong rental outcomes; however, in the current winter market we have seen an increase in our average days on market therefore leasing success is closely tied to strategic marketing and pricing highlighting the importance of a tailored approach.
We’re also seeing a rise in investor activity, driven by attractive buying opportunities in the current market. Looking ahead, the rental market is expected to become more competitive as we move into the traditionally busier spring season and expect a strong finish to the year.
What the latest data is telling us:
- Vacancy rates continue to remain low
- Average Weekly Rent Northern Beaches: $1,656 (houses) $854
(apartments)
- Average Weekly Rent Lower North Shore: $1,801 (houses) $1,021
(apartments)
- Gross yields remain strong and stable
New legislation changes aren’t deterring investors. Confidence is holding firm, and property values continue to rise across high-demand areas. If you’re currently holding, looking to expand, or planning ahead, it may be worth exploring how current trends could influence your next steps. We’re always available for a conversation if you’d like to discuss your property plans.
