Vacancies are expected to decrease further to below 8% by the end of the second quarter as consumers continue to face financial pressure, TPN said. “Even with improved rental escalations, rental property yields for sectional title properties remained flat at 10.1% while the yield on full title properties dropped from 7.1% to 7% in the first quarter of 2022.”
