Adelaide renters are paying $15 a week more compared with this time last year and can expect further rises.

Real Estate Institute of SA figures show the median weekly rent in Adelaide hit $310 in the December quarter, up 5.1 per cent on the $295 weekly median from the 2009 December quarter.

Industry experts attributed the increasing rents to a tight market and interest rate rises.

The rise in weekly rent came despite a 5.5 per cent increase during the past year in the number of properties available for lease.

REISA president Greg Nybo said the rises were to be expected in Adelaide’s rental market, where the vacancy rate had hovered at or below 1 per cent for much of the past year.

“What we are now starting to see is the reality of a very, very tight rental market,” Mr Nybo said.

“When you have so many people looking for a limited product, rents are going to go up accordingly.

“A lot of landlords have also adjusted their rents with increases in interest rates and ongoing price rises for utilities.”

Statewide, the median weekly rent increased 5.5 per cent during the past year to $290. Mr Nybo said the larger statewide increase could be reflective of the state’s expanding mining sector and a mostly strong year for farmers.

“If the job is there and people are moving to the country for employment in mining or agriculture, it’s going to make for limited stock, which again means higher rents,” he said.

Mr Nybo said that with interest rate rises forecast for this year and no sign of demand letting up, similar increases in rent could be expected in 2011.

The brand new $128M State Aquatic Centre and the GP Plus Health Care Centre are taking shape at Marion, with the new facilities expected to open early next year.

Project Director Steve Woodrow said it will be a world-class sport and health facility that allows people to get fit by exercise or keep well by visiting a health centre all at the same convenient location.

“The State Aquatic Centre will be FINA compliant and will be capable of hosting major state, national and selected international events”, Mr Woodrow said.

The GP Pus Health Care Centre will offer a broad range of health care services to the community with a range of professionals working together to help people stay healthy. The Marion Domain will also see the development of Adelaide’s first new Community Mental Health Centre to be co-located with the GP Plus Health Care Centre.

The State Aquatic Centre will be operational in early 2011 and has already been successful in attracting a number of major events, including the 2011 Australian Age Swimming Championships, 2012 World Life Saving Championships and the 2012 World Junior Diving Championships.

Embracing the power of the internet and Social Media can seem extremely foreign to most real estate agents at first, yet most real estate agents after discovering Social Media find it so much easier to leverage the power of Social Media to help them build their profile, increase their network of potential clients and advertise their properties online.

So what does this mean to the old fashioned and expensive marketing of properties in Newspapers?

Well over the past couple of years we have seen a serious decline in the spend that real estate agents are making on real estate newspaper marketing.

If you’re still a bit unsure about how your real estate agent should be using Social Media to market your property or perhaps you’re wondering what the fuss is all about with Facebook, Blogging, Twitter, YouTube, etc then you may want to check out this video which demonstrates the strength of Social Media and what you might expect to see happening in the future.

Raine & Horne is thrilled to be involved with this year’s production of the Nine Network Australia’s The Block 2010 -- this year with two agents representing vendors on the series.

The first series of The Block aired in 2003, and quickly became the highest rating television series of all time. The second series ran in 2004 and was Channel Nine’s highest rating series for the second year running. Now, in 2010 the series is back and it is proving, yet again to be one of Australia’s most loved television shows.

Four couples are challenged to renovate their apartments in just eight weeks with a budget of $80,000 including $30,000 in cash from the Commonwealth Bank, $20,000 from Freedom Furniture, $15,000 from Freedom Kitchens and a $15,000 voucher from Reece.

Each week the couples present a room to the judges in order to win additional cash to go toward their budget. But in the end, it’s the buying public that will decide the winner when the four apartments are auctioned. The result; the couples will all keep the profit made from their apartment sale and the winners, the couple who make the most money at Auction, win the grand prize of $100,000.

The fantastic news for Raine & Horne is that two out of the four apartments in The Block are to be sold by Raine & Horne agents. The apartments, located on New South Head Road, Vaucluse, are to be auctioned in late November 2010. We offer our congratulations and full support to Mary Anne Cronin from Bondi Beach and Michael Pallier from Double Bay -- our representing agents.

Angus Raine, Raine & Horne CEO is really excited about the 2010 series.

“Raine & Horne has been involved in a previous series of The Block and are delighted to be involved again. It’s a fantastic series for the industry, generating the biggest audience in Australian television history, as well as genuine interest in both renovating and real estate. In addition, I’m confident that the Raine & Horne offices from Bondi Beach and Double Bay will do a brilliant job for their vendors. They are both members of Raine & Horne’s exclusive Chairman’s Club, they’re top performing, highly respected and professional”.

“With Raine & Horne being appointed on not just one apartment but two, it demonstrates the company’s prominence as a true superbrand in the marketplace.”

“The team at Raine & Horne wishes our teams every success.”
