Rental Market Update

The rental market in 2025 has experienced notable shifts, transitioning from a robust start to a more tempered pace, with unique properties maintaining their appeal. At the beginning of the year, the market exhibited strong demand, characterised by minimal vacancy rates. However, as the year progressed, a general slowdown was observed across the region. This moderation is attributed to factors such as increased housing supply, a decline in migration, and a return to high-occupancy households like share houses. Looking ahead, the rental market is expected to maintain its current trajectory, with steady demand for both traditional and unique properties. While the broader market experiences a slowdown.

It is not only Anne-Marie's professionalism and commitment in delivering what she says.

"A Wonderful Getaway in Kiama"

We had a fantastic stay at this holiday house over Easter with the family. The location was absolutely perfect - nestled near the beautiful Kiama beach, we enjoyed peaceful outdoor moments and the calming serenity of the ocean view every day. It truly offered the relaxing break we were hoping for. The house itself was very accommodating and incredibly clean, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Everything we needed was provided, and the layout suited our family perfectly.

"Perfect Weekend Away!"

Perfect place for a weekend away. The house is beautiful and the area is incredible. We spent some time there with a group of friends and it was perfect.
