We received 250 applications and leased 36 homes. We welcomed 320 groups through our open homes, many of which leased after one open for above asking rent.

“In answer to the question of what the easiest area is to secure a rental in Adelaide right now, it’s definitely the CBD. It has the highest number of available rental listings. The lack of international students has created an oversupply of properties, especially apartments in the city” General Manager of Property Management Jane Looker said. 

“With tech giants Google and Amazon moving into Lot 14, we are hoping Adelaide will start to and attract more professionals. Where Adelaide used to be a jumping point to the Eastern states, the investment in technology, defence and medicine here will hopefully see a gradual reversal of that trend.” 

“This is good news for Adelaide developers and landlords and especially those who hold city apartments.”
