Wealthy Sydneysiders are taking out long-term leases on properties normally rented out on Airbnb and using them as second homes to escape the city during the pandemic | niltiac

Wealthy Sydneysiders are taking out long-term leases on properties normally rented out on Airbnb and using them as second homes to escape the city during the pandemic.

But Ms Sim said the opposite was true in the inner-suburbs of capital cities, where the market had been flooded by Airbnb rentals entering the long-term rental market. Ray White's rent rolls in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne had grown strongly. However, Mr Conolly said some of the Airbnb properties around tourism-oriented parts of the city such as Millers Point and the Rocks were still being used as holiday rentals for visitors from other parts of NSW and Australia.

In keeping with this lifestyle trend, Mr Conolly said McGrath Central Coast reported tenancy vacancies were at 0.36 per cent rather than the usual 2-3 per cent.In Palm Beach, LJ Hooker senior property manager Kirsty Frazer said there was a shortage of rental properties, partly because owners were using the properties for themselves and also because of increased demand.
