‘More homes’will ease rental crisis THE Geelong region has recorded a minor improvement in housing vacancy rates for renters compared to a dip in the metropolitan area and the rest of Victoria. Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s Enzo Raimondo said a release of REIV January figures revealed Geelong’s vacancy rate improved from 1.4 per cent to 1.7 per cent more homes available meaning more homes available for rent. He said despite Geelong’s slight improvement it was six years since Victoria had recorded a “balanced” vacancy rate above three per cent. “While the vacancy rate remains below three per cent, renters are likely to face higher rents due to supply shortages and more competition,” he said. “In the past five years, according to the Victorian Government’s Office of Housing, the median rent for a three-bedroom house has increased by 43.5 per cent compared to 21.1 per cent between 2000 and 2005. “The median rent for a twobedroom unit has increased by 54.5 per cent compared to 25.7 per cent between 2000 and 2005.” “The only solution for the
rental market is to build more homes, which in turn investors can make available to the rental market. “While the rate of new-house building commencements has begun to increase, this has only occurred over the past 12 months.” Harcourts North Geelong director Joe Grgic attributed Geelong’s slight improvement in vacancy rates to fussy tenants. “Prospective tenants are being particular about where they will apply,” he said. “Many are turning up to inspect a property but if there is only one thing they’re not happy with, then they don’t apply for the property.” Mr Grgic called on State Government to “relax” development regulations. “Victoria’s lack of available rental properties is about supply and demand,” he said. “With the current migration of people into Victoria coupled with the high birth rates, there is going to be more pressure put on housing demand, which also affects affordability within the rental market.”
More for lease: Harcourts North Geelong’s Joe Grigic with Helena Fantela and Kristina Angelevski bring out the for-lease sign.

National Builders marketing and communications manager Khalid Khateeb says the group delivers a superior level of customer service. “It extends beyond the point-ofsale and continues well after construction is complete,” Mr Khateeb says. “Like most people you want your new home to be one-of-a-kind, a new home designed to meet the lifestyle needs of you and your family. “With National Builders Group this dream can be realised.” Mr Khateeb says a new-home sales consultant is available to guide buyers through the full range of National designs, including the Design Studio 25. “Our Design Studio 25 offers a full custom designer service. “We have more than 200 designs and encourage you to change our plans to suit your lifestyle. “Our design consultants have many years of experience in designing award winning homes and they will guide you all the way to
N
realising your dream.” National Builders builds all homes with quality steel frames and a 50year structural warranty or with termite-protected blue timber frames with a 25-year structural warranty at no extra charge. “Some conditions may apply,” Mr Khateeb says. “The thing which really sets National Builders Group apart from others is the local builder’s advantage, which guarantees that the construction of your new home will be supervised and managed by the actual licensed building practitioner. “Our builder members for Victoria come with many years of building experience and all uphold outstanding reputations. Mr Khateeb encourages newhome buyers to check out National Builders’ monthly offers. “We have a home-cinema pack, carpet and tiles, air-conditioning and Colorbond roofing plus much more as a bonus this month.” National Builders is in Province Boulevard, Highton. More information is available by phoning Tamara on 0449 257 128 or visiting www.nationabuilders.com.au.
