Exclusive: 45,209 rentals now registered as minister prepares to review proposed annual limits
Of those, almost 30,000 were “non-hosted” properties – meaning the renter can occupy the whole property.The number of non-hosted homes has risen from 20,999 at the end of 2021 to 29,289, accounting for the vast majority of the overall rise in listings across the state. The rise is of concern to mayors and housing affordability advocates.
The NSW south coast accounts for the most listings anywhere in the state, with more than 4,000 properties listed in the Shoalhaven local government area, including the tourist hotspots of Berry, Kangaroo Valley and Jervis Bay, accounting for 7.5% of private dwellings.
“Our immediate goal is to help alleviate some of the pressure and buy us some time as we await housing investment from the federal and state governments,” Findley said.She wants the council to be able to introduce strict caps on short-term rentals and to be able to separately rate them so “they contribute more broadly to the area and its maintenance”.
The Central Coast comes in second with 3,307 homes listed as private rentals, with the Northern Beaches coming in third, with 2,514. Byron shire has the fourth most properties registered of all local government areas, but the 2,440 properties account for 16% of all private dwellings.
