In Melbourne, prominent property marketer Jeff Grochowski, from Accrue Real Estate, said today,

"Melbourne's population continues to grow as immigration boosts numbers along with those who are looking for employment opportunities in the CBD"

"Interestingly, vacancy rates for rental properties are lower for investors who purchase property valued at less than the median house price. That is because there are more people looking for affordable accommodation than those looking to rent luxury homes. There is a lesson there for investors."
