Melbourne house rents break records for the fourth consecutive quarter

“Rents are not rising at higher rates than before, and while it’s bleak for renters, we haven’t seen an acceleration in the rate of growth.” Rents are rising due to competition from returning tenants moving out of their family homes or arriving in Melbourne from overseas or interstate, coinciding with a decline in the number of rental properties available, down 61 per cent since last year. The biggest jump in weekly rents for units was in the Inland East, up 4.9 percent, or $20 per week, to an average of $430. Residential unit rents in Melbourne were up 3.4 percent during the quarter, and 22.7 percent over the year, to $460 per week. That equates to a jump of $85 per week since last September. Jason Tse and his wife, Taro Chung, were looking for a new home after their owner tried to increase the rent for their Docklands apartment by 30 per cent. Tse negotiated the increase to 25 per cent on a six-month short lease. Jason Tse and Taru Chung hope to find affordable rentals in Footscray.attributed to him:Jason South Over the past three weeks, he has filled out about five applications and checked 20 properties within a 10km radius of his Docklands apartment, including in Carlton, Southbank and south Melbourne, but without success. The couple is now looking for a two-bedroom home away from the city, in Footscray. loading Both work full time in a Port Melbourne warehouse for a clothing company, and have a budget of $550 a week. “I’m disappointed because I think with our budget, it shouldn’t be hard to get a place,” Tse said. Even in the outer suburbs, tenants are suffering. In the Southeast, weekly home rents are up $45 a week from a year ago, and they’re up $30 in the West. Victoria’s Community Engagement Manager Farah Farooq said low- and middle-income earners who had traditionally moved to the Melbourne suburbs to rent were now finding it difficult to survive. “It’s quite a challenge,” she said. Suburbs that were once famous for being affordable, like Frankston, are no longer affordable because of the extra competition. “Only parents appear in this novel, and so do people at work. Tenants who keep their jobs have a hard time securing their possessions. We have [also] We’ve heard anecdotes that some people go without meals so they can pay the rent.” Affordable outer suburban rentals, such as Frankston, are no longer an option for some renters.attributed to him:Simon Schlutter Farooq said 90 per cent of Victorian tenants were forced into the private market because there were not enough social or affordable housing for those who needed it most. Victoria Real Estate Institute CEO Quentin Killian agreed that more affordable and social housing was needed. He said Victoria’s new rent laws, introduced last year to provide minimum standards for properties, had caused investors to sell out. “The biggest pressure is the number of landlords getting out of the rental market and selling their investments,” Killian said. He said that the rise in interest rates and the increase in the cost of repairs with the continued rise in the prices of building materials had a negative impact on the rental market.

Homebuyers are starving for choice as new listings drop

KR Peters Real Estate Wantirna director Peter Nichols said he believes the spring market will start late, as sellers’ confidence has been hit by lower house prices. “There’s a shortage of inventory out there — a huge shortage of inventory,” Nichols said. But since there are limitations to what is being offered, there is potential for more competition for those properties [from buyers]. “ Although many home hunters were concerned about upcoming interest rate increases, some were still looking for bargains in the market, especially buying a better home at a lower price than they had planned, Nichols said. It’s good news for sellers like Kate Germain and her husband, Travis Pipe. The couple is selling their three-bedroom home in hopes of buying a bigger home away from the city. They were eager to move somewhere with more trees and a feel of the country. Jermaine, who returned to work as a nurse’s aid after giving birth to her daughter Bodhi, said she and her husband had been watching the market as it shifted gears, but had not been phased in about the price drop. Kate Germaine and Travis Babe with her daughter Buddy are not worried about the current market and are hoping to sell.attributed to him:Simon Schlutter “There is never a good time to sell, but as we are increasing, with the prices they are, now is the time to do so,” Jermaine said. “I’ve seen that the homes have been going through auction more, but I am quietly confident that our place will sell because it has period charm, and it has been renovated. “Even if he has been in the market for a little longer, they are [properties] She said. There have been fewer new listings since the market boom last year, said Anthony Lapadula, partner of Gillies Craig Reservoir, which sells the couple’s home. loading He said that opportunistic sellers, who were selling for money, were no longer in his local market, and those registering good quality large family homes were also falling behind. “The heat definitely came out of the market, and it definitely subsided,” Lapadula said. “There’s demand there, but buyer confidence is back a bit too.” Felicity Emmett, chief economist at ANZ, said home buyers may expect new listing numbers to continue to fall, as buyers’ borrowing power diminishes due to higher interest rates – a trend similar to previous recessions. ANZ expects home prices to fall by more than 11 per cent this year and 6 per cent next year in Melbourne, with interest rates expected to continue rising until next year before some relief for buyers and sellers alike. “If prices continue to fall, as we expect, sellers will see what they consider a loss if they sell,” Emmett said. “If the next door neighbors sell a million dollars’ worth, they will feel the pain of getting $900,000…it will affect the listings next year.” Source link Originally published at Melbourne News Vine

Heavy rain causes more potholes to appear on Melbourne roads

Crews were unable to carry out major repairs until the weather calmed. Meanwhile, the water on the roads makes the potholes bigger and deeper. “When we get periods of above-average precipitation, as we are seeing now, it is not unusual to see more potholes on our roads,” said Paul Northey, DOT’s Chief of Regional Transportation. “We need to wait for warmer and drier weather so that we can deliver long-term repairs that will last – doing this type of work when it’s wet or cold greatly increases the risk of business failure.” For those who regularly use the Melba Expressway, which has a top speed of 100 km/h but often slows to 40 km/h, the road surface has become alarmingly unsafe. Golding’s opinion.attributed to him:Matt Golding It was only a matter of time until a pit caused a fatal accident, said Paul Volckering, the former mayor of Mansfieldshire. The stretch of Melba Expressway near Glenburne has already proven to be deadly. In August, 30-year-old Georgia MacDonald was killed when her car collided with another vehicle. The exact conditions have not yet been announced. Her partner was preparing to propose within days of the breakup, according to a GoFundMe family page. In addition to the heavy rain, Volkering said the road suffered from heavy traffic into nearby snowfields during the winter. “You can’t drive more than a pair of k’s on this road without going through a big pothole,” he said. “It just became a real nightmare,” he said. “It’s okay if you’re an experienced country driver, you know where to slow down, but it deteriorated to the point that it became unexpectedly dangerous.” Vacant hole on Melba Highway.attributed to him:Simon Schlutter Nearby tire manufacturers have also reported a significant increase in business due to potholes on the Melba Expressway and other high-speed roads, including the Hume Expressway. Zoe Lee, principal at Seymour TyPower, said there has been a recent three-week period in which dozens of cars were constantly slalom on spare tires or immobilized on the backs of tow trucks. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” she said. “They were getting off the highway as if there was no tomorrow.” She said the damage appeared to be consistent with cars hitting potholes at speed. “The tire is broken in the impact,” she said. “It’s like an egg growing on the sidewall of the tire. Once that happens, they need to be replaced.” Eldon Liberal Representative Cindy MacLeish recently raised the issue of the poor state of the Melba Expressway in the state parliament. “I drive this road myself regularly; it must be one of the worst in the state,” she said. The Department of Transportation said $4.3 million has been allocated to repave the Melba Expressway in the next fiscal year. More broadly, the state government has committed more than $780 million to repair 1,600 kilometers of the state’s arterial road surfaces this year. Earlier this week, the state’s opposition promised to spend $10 billion on road maintenance in the next 10 years if elected. Drivers on the Melba Expressway hope that repairs will be made sooner rather than later. loading Lindsey Hawking, of Yea, said a pothole near Glenburn recently punctured one of the Ford XR6’s tires, while another dented the exhaust system. He said, “It was just a sudden ‘bang’ and then within a minute a ‘thumble’. “One morning as I was driving, eight cars were parked on the side of the road with cranes raised.” He said the danger was not only in hitting potholes, but when drivers weave across the road to try and miss them. “I was moving several pits that day, and I had about 10 cars behind me and it was like a big snake,” he said. “If it’s in the dark, you won’t see them until you’re above them.” The Morning Edition newsletter is our guide to the most interesting daily stories, analysis and insights.

Experience an immersive light bath and sound twice daily coming to Melbournes Union Square

At sunrise and sunset each day in the next year, the Sound and Light Bath in Union Square will mark the beginning and end of each day. Artists J. David Franzke and Jeffrey Ness say the vocal ritual they composed twice daily is titled sun songsIt shouldn’t sound like anything I’ve heard before. “It comes out of nothing and then there are layers and layers,” says Ness. “It’s an auditory sorbet.” Sun Songs artists Jeffrey Ness (left) and J. David Franzke in Union Square.attributed to him:Simon Schlutter In the morning, he says, the sound and light are like a great wave breaking over the square. “It takes a little time to build slowly. It has a kind of metallic sound, and it’s still very organic – so it forms and then kind of washes over the square, then it disappears.” The sound is deeper in the evening, says Franzke, based on the experience of going to the movies and a sense of anticipation when “the audience listens,” followed by a very resonant chord known as the deep THX tone.And the Which is often shown at the beginning of the movie. The sound and light bath will last for approximately five minutes at sunrise and sunset each day, starting October 19.attributed to him:Simon Schlutter “It builds on that deep observation, shared experiences of vocal reverence,” he says. “It gets to space out of nowhere, but in the end, it lets you set off on a much more sparkling metallic experience than the morning one, and it almost drives you into space.” The soundtrack begins on October 19, lasts about five minutes and is accompanied by programmed illumination from lights and screens hanging in Union Square.
