Tauranga Rental Statistics

Rents in Tauranga have risen dramatically in the last 10 years with an average three bedroom house in an average location renting for $272 per week (MBIE Statistics) back in January 2008, in January 2018 the same house would rent for $465 per week, that’s a 70% increase or an average 5.5% increase every year for those 10 years with the largest increase happening in 2016.

Currently the average rent for a one bedroom dwelling is $303 per week, a two bedroom is $404 per week, a three bedroom is $477 per week and a four bedroom is $540 per week, on average about 350 houses are rented every month in Tauranga which is one months supply if you are guided by what is available on Trade Me.

Is your Rental Investment at Market Rent, there are some Investors who get worried about increasing rents, they are worried they might lose their good Tenants, the reality is there are more good Tenants than bad Tenants so it is in your best interest to keep to Market or at least within 5% of Market Rent as your cost increase every year, Council Rates, Insurances, Tradespeople Charges for maintenance, your running costs, travel, Accountants and so on

Our Company reviews our Rents informally every time we do our three monthly inspection in case there has been a dramatic change, and formally every six months. If we have to increase the Rent we would rather put it up by $10 to $20 every six months than $40 to $50 once a year
