It shows the rental market has continued on a gradual recovery path. Rental vacancy rates have slowed from 13% during the pandemic to 7.8% in the third quarter of 2022. However, vacancy rates remain above the pre-pandemic average of 5.3% between 2017 and 2019.

Rental inflation increased by 2.8% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2022, up from what FNB calls"a trough" of 0.6% in the first quarter of 2021. "The pace of [rental] recovery is still constrained by weak employment growth and a rising cost of living. While demand is improving, there is still excess supply in the market. This is reflected by the declining average real rental rate, as well as above-average vacancy rates," states the FNB barometer report.
