" Rates are still rising but not as quick as what we saw in the past financial year," she said.
Perth and Adelaide are the exceptions. "Adelaide has actually been like a steam train-- you can't stop it," she said. "And Perth simply hasn't slowed down."
Rental costs for apartments are anticipated to increase in the next year, reaching all-time highs in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, the Gold Coast, and the Sunlight Coast.

As a result, an even bigger portion of migrants are most likely to converge on cities in pursuit of remarkable job opportunity, consequently reducing need in local markets, according to Powell.
Nevertheless local locations near cities would stay appealing locations for those who have been evaluated of the city and would continue to see an increase of need, she included.
