Melbourne Rental Vacancy Rates Edge Up Slightly
By Ravs Realtors · 18 September 2026 · 1 min read · Source: Milesre
Melbourne's rental vacancy rate rose from 2.5% to 2.6% in September 2026, indicating a slight easing in the market. Quality and well-presented properties continue to attract strong demand.
In the western growth corridor, this slight rise in vacancy rates could mean more options for renters and potentially a need for landlords to ensure their properties are well-maintained and competitively priced to attract and retain tenants.
