The median rise across all of regional Victoria was 6.1 per cent for houses and 7.7 per cent for units.<\/p>\n<p>In August rental vacancy rates remined tight across Victoria, with the statewide average at 1.5 per cent, the same level as Ballarat and the Central Highlands. The REIV considers a vacancy rate of 3 per cent healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Mr King called for interventions that would create more rental stock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need more incentives to convince investors to put their houses back on the market,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current housing market conditions are ideal for landlords, and owners are getting great returns on their investments, we encourage everyone to rent out their investment properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProperty managers are being absolutely swamped by enquiries when they are advertising new homes for rent. Now is an ideal time to lease out your property, landlords are getting great rental returns and have access to a larger and more diverse pool of rental applications to choose from.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ballarat up an average near 8 per cent RENT for residential properties in the regions have shown strong growth over the last twelve months on the back of limited supply.
