Rental growth has slumped to a record low of 0.9 per cent per annum in Australia’s capital cities, a new CoreLogic RP Data report has found.
“The sluggish pace of rental appreciation continues to be attributed to the ongoing boom in dwelling construction across Australia’s capital cities accompanied by record-high participation in the housing market from investors,” the report said.
