首次购房者增加 过去一年全澳房租仍大涨

Rents on houses and apartments climbed nationwide throughout the year, even as low interest rates and the Federal First Home Buyers Grant boost lured more people into home ownership, a report shows.Nationally, rents on houses increased 3.4 per cent to $422 a week over the 12 months to October, while they rose 4.1 per cent on apartments to $409, rpdata.com said today. Rose Bay in Sydney's east posted the biggest rises for houses, with rents jumping nearly 60 per cent.

据2009年11月19日《悉尼晨锋报》报道，尽管低利率和联邦政府首次置业补贴翻番政策促使更多的租客转而首次购房，过去一年全澳房租依然大幅上涨，目前独立屋House的平均周租已达$422元，公寓房达 $409，悉尼东区Rose Bay的House房租从一年前的周租600大涨到900澳元，涨幅高达60%！

在墨尔本，独立屋House的周租最贵城区是Toorak，过去一年从890元涨至1280元，上涨了43.8%。

但过去一年里，全澳贷款买房的人数也在增加。澳洲统计局周三公布，仅在今年九月份，房贷数量就增加了5.1%，新增贷款者中超过四分之一是首次购房人士。

澳洲房产业联合会（HIA）的一份报告指出，虽然2009/2010财年新动工住房建设项目数量同比增加了9%，但今年澳洲仍将短缺50,000套住房。住宅短缺问题恐怕至少要延续到2012年。
