AU Australia property term

Vacancy Rate

Western Australia

Plain-English definition

The percentage of available rental properties in a defined market that are vacant at a particular time.

Why this matters to a foreign buyer

Use a dated figure for the specific suburb and property type. A city-wide vacancy rate can hide very different conditions for apartments, houses and price bands.
