Renters seeking out smaller units over larger homes, analysis reveals

The Rubenstein Group’s Oliver Lavers says renters in Australia are becoming increasingly interested in “cosmopolitan living”. Recent analysis has shown Australians are now seeking out and looking to rent smaller properties, reversing the pandemic-era trend towards larger homes. “They are wanting to be closer to cafes and shops and pubs,” Mr Lavers told Sky News host Erin Molan. “The social aspect of life and of people is coming back. “I know that’s what I look for so I’m excited for it.”
