\"\"A cost of living crunch is driving a new trend among renters \u2013 and it\u2019s changing the wish lists of some property investors. We reveal what\u2019s happening across the rental and investment markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investors have been a driving force in the property market lately, with\u00a0lending to investors up<\/a>\u00a0almost 30% over the year to May 2024.<\/p>\n

Part of the appeal has undoubtedly been rising property values, which have\u00a0jumped 10.14% nationally<\/a>\u00a0since the market lows of late 2022, leaving many investors pocketing tidy capital gains.<\/p>\n

However, successful investing can also involve buying a property with plenty of tenant appeal, and\u00a0new research from CoreLogic<\/a>\u00a0indicates that renters are opting for homes with more bedrooms.<\/p>\n

Why is that the case?<\/h3>\n

Most people are feeling cost of living pressures right now \u2013 and renters are no exception.<\/p>\n

Renters aren\u2019t just dealing with higher utility bills and rising costs at the checkout and the bowser \u2013 they\u2019ve also had to deal with\u00a0rents rising 8.2% nationally<\/a>\u00a0over the past year.<\/p>\n

Thus, plenty of tenants are looking for ways to lower their weekly rent \u2013 and one strategy is to lease a larger home, either for use as a sharehouse or to accommodate multiple family members.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0CoreLogic<\/a>, the evidence for this strategy lies in data that shows higher rent increases for homes with more bedrooms.<\/p>\n

As a guide, rents for 1-bedroom units and studios have increased by 7.1% over the past 12 months. Rents for 2-bedder apartments have risen by 7.9%.<\/p>\n

Whereas, rents for houses with five or more bedrooms have jumped 8.7% over the same period.<\/p>\n

Despite the higher rent rises, it\u2019s often more cost-effective for renters to band together and share a bigger property.<\/p>\n

The average weekly rent per bedroom in a 5-bedroom house is about $175 nationally compared to $293 in a 2-bedroom unit, or $541 in a 1-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n

The takeout for investors<\/h3>\n

While rents for multi-bedroom homes may have outpaced smaller properties, a larger dwelling won\u2019t appeal to every investor. And it\u2019s not just about the likelihood that a big house will come with a higher price tag than a smaller place.<\/p>\n

A large property with the potential to accommodate more tenants can experience greater wear and tear, potentially leaving an investor with higher maintenance costs.<\/p>\n

In addition, 4-5-bedroom houses are often found in outer suburban areas, which may experience slower price growth than inner city locations.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, what matters is that investors consider what they want to achieve by purchasing a rental property, and invest in the place that aligns with their goals.<\/p>\n
