An Analysis of Melbourne's Rental Crisis

Melbourne, a vibrant and thriving city, is experiencing a severe rental housing crisis. With rising demand, shrinking vacancy rates and skyrocketing rents, finding an affordable and quality rental property in this bustling metropolis has become a daunting challenge. However, here at Cornus Developments we are aiming to provide affordable housing solutions to those looking to break into the property market. With our ongoing projects in key suburbs such as Oakleigh, Glen Iris and Sandringham, we are aiming to contribute to the solution.

Melbourne's Rental Crisis Unveiled

Melbourne has been experiencing a rental crisis for some time. The population of this dynamic city has been growing, but the supply of properties has not been meeting the demand. This has led to fewer available rental properties which have been increasing demand and rising rents.

This crisis has had a particularly hard impact on low-income renters and those on welfare benefits. Affordable rental options have dwindled, forcing many to spend a significant portion of their income on housing. While the recent 5.75% increase in the national minimum wage has provided some relief, it is still difficult for many to find affordable rental accommodation.

In this challenging environment, we aim to provide opportunities for investors and owner occupiers to:

• Increase housing supply: Cornus Developments is contributing to Melbourne's rental housing stock by constructing new apartment complexes for investors. These developments offer a range of housing options to suit different income levels. This allows investors to purchase a property in advance and prepare the apartment for renters.
• Providing quality housing: Cornus Developments builds high-quality apartments that are designed to meet the needs of renters. The apartments are well-appointed and located in convenient locations.
• Cornus Developments incorporates energy-efficient and environmentally friendly features in our designs, which are in line with modern sustainability standards. This not only reduces long-term costs for renters but also aligns with eco-conscious goals.

The rental crisis in Melbourne is undoubtedly a major issue, but Cornus Developments is at the forefront of creating a brighter future for Melbourne renters. We are actively increasing the supply of housing, providing affordable housing options and championing sustainability in our developments. Our projects in Oakleigh, Glen Iris, Sandringham and Carnegie serve as tangible evidence of our unwavering commitment to addressing the housing crisis and supporting the local community.

Amid the unfolding challenges posed by Melbourne's rental crisis, we aim to stand resolute in our commitment to expanding housing supply and delivering top-quality residences. We firmly believe that our ongoing efforts will play a pivotal role in shaping a better future for Melbourne's housing landscape.

As Melbourne continues its remarkable growth trajectory, it becomes increasingly evident that the presence of developers dedicated to offering affordable and high-quality housing, is paramount. This dedication is not just for the sake of developers, but for the residents who call this city home. It's a collective effort to preserve Melbourne's accessibility and maintain its status as a thriving, inclusive urban haven for all its residents. Our enduring commitment to this mission will remain unwavering, ensuring that Melbourne's housing challenges are met with sustainable solutions and a brighter tomorrow for all.
