Michele Levine – CEO, Roy Morgan Research, says: “Of the one million people who access Domain and not Realestate.com.au in a four-week period, over 30% are Mid-Life Households, aged 45-65 with no children under 16 still at home. For Realestate.com.au, a similar proportion of its 2.3 million exclusive audience is Young Parents, aged under 45 and with kids. So this meansRead More →

Before I became software developer, I worked for several years in advertising. I was fortunate for the opportunity to work with the best advertising agencies in the country, playing a very small part in presenting some very large companies in Australia to market. Along the way, I learned a few lessons about marketing and advertising… one such lesson was imparted on me by a sagely old advertising photographer: Owning a camera doesn’t make you a photographer – it makes you a camera owner. The importance of photography cannot be emphasized enough – it’s a job that really ought to be left to a professional photographer ifRead More →

In fact there’s only 2 things you can edit that display in the search results: the rent (or sale price) and the main photograph.Basically, thoseRead More →

Relatively stable yet dangerously low vacancy rates over the first quarter of 2024 are a cold comfort to renters desperately trying to find a place to call home in Queensland. The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) Residential Vacancy Report for the March 2024 Quarter shows rental availability remains at critical lows across the sunshine state. Of the 50 local government areas and sub regions covered in the report, vacancy rates fell in 22, were stable in 10 and climbed in 18, compared to the previous quarter. These movements, however disappointing or promising they may seem on face value, were confined to a modest 0.2%Read More →

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has warned the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 (the Bill) introduced today, contains some extreme, unnecessary, and impractical reforms. REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said it was disappointing to see legislative change being touted as the solution to the rental crisis when there is universal agreement that we need to encourage new supply. She said the most alarming reforms in the Bill relate to: ·     The proposal to attach rent increase limits to the property rather than the tenancy agreement; and ·     A tenant’s right to ask for structural changes to a property and an owner beingRead More →

The Real Estate Institute of Queensland’s (REIQ) latest quarterly Residential Vacancy Rate Report shows most renters have more choice than they had a year ago, despite a slightly tightening market over the September 2023 Quarter.

The report, released today, covers 50 local government areas (LGAs) and sub regions in Queensland, with figures representing just how few and far between rental listings can be – particularly in regional areas. Of the 50 Queensland regions,Read More →
