In the realm of property management, foresight and adaptability are paramount. As Australia grapples with a rental crisis, Housemark stands as a beacon of stability and excellence in property management, particularly in the dynamic landscape of South-East Queensland.
Understanding the Current Rental Climate
Recent data paints a sobering picture of Australia’s rental market. Over the past three years, the vacancy rates for rental properties have plummeted, with the national average dropping from 2.42% to a mere 1.09% by January 2024. This trend signifies a severe undersupply of homes relative to tenant demand, exacerbating the challenges faced by renters across the country.
Housemark’s Commitment to Excellence
At Housemark, our unwavering dedication to property management sets us apart. Unlike agencies with diversified interests, we are solely focused on property management. This exclusive dedication ensures that 100% of our efforts are directed towards maximising the returns on your investment property.
But what does “properly managed” truly entail? For us, it encompasses a multifaceted approach:
High-Quality Tenant Placement
We understand the importance of securing reliable and responsible tenants for your property. Through meticulous screening processes and stringent criteria, we identify and place tenants who uphold the integrity of your investment.
Access to Cutting-Edge Technology
In an era defined by technological innovation, we empower landlords and tenants alike with access to the latest property management software and tools. This not only streamlines processes but also enhances transparency and efficiency in our operations.

This ensures that your investment is in capable hands, guided by expertise and experience.
Navigating the Challenges Ahead
As Australia’s rental crisis deepens, tenants face mounting challenges in securing suitable accommodation. Regions such as Western Australia’s Bunbury, Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and Melbourne Outer East are experiencing historically low vacancy rates, reflecting the broader trend of undersupply across the country.
The prognosis for 2024 is bleak, with little relief in sight. The sluggish pace of new housing development, coupled with robust population growth, indicates that competitive conditions in both rental and real estate markets will persist. Consequently, rental availability is projected to further decline, posing affordability challenges for tenants and landlords alike.
Partnering for Success
In the face of uncertainty, partnering with a trusted property management agency like Housemark is more crucial than ever. Our unwavering commitment to excellence, coupled with our proactive approach to navigating market challenges, ensures that your investment thrives amidst adversity.
As Australia’s rental landscape evolves, Housemark remains steadfast in our mission to deliver unparalleled service and value to our clients. Together, let us navigate the currents of change and emerge stronger, resilient, and prosperous.
