SQM Research Managing Director Louis Christopher says rents are not rising to the same extent as some on social media suggest. ​“On our numbers over the past 30 days, we have actually recorded a stabilisation of rents,” Mr Christopher told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. ​“If we look over the last 12 months, rents have accelerated; we’ve got them up by about 6.9 per cent as a capital city average, and it’s well above CPI and well above wages growth. ​“During winter times, we tend to see a little bit of a lull in the rental market, where rents tend to stabilise. ​“What we’ve seen over the past 30 days is just that seasonal lull, so my point is that we are not ruling out could accelerate from here.”
