Tenancy Traffic At Open Homes Is Through The Roof

Sydney real estate has a reputation for always running hot – and from what we’re seeing at the moment, this isn’t changing any time soon, despite COVID-19.

With how the market’s trending right now, we’re seeing some phenomenal leasing results every week. So, if you’ve got a rental property, it’s time to get it on the market.

Property leasing is a busy place across Sydney’s Northern Beaches

Despite what the media has been saying about real estate amidst the pandemic, rental open homes in our region have never been more popular.

For one, this can be attributed to the fact that people are starting to realise it’s not as important to live close to the office anymore. With everyone working from home, Sydneysiders are opting to relocate to places they’ve always wanted to live – which means we’re as busy as ever here on the Northern Beaches (who wouldn’t want to live here?!).

At Upstate, we also have experienced a huge influx of high-quality tenants through our proactive marketing campaigns – which means they’re all looking for a home right now.

Our recently leased list

Here are some of our recently rented homes, where we’ve had some properties rented within one week of marketing them! Check these out.

8/70 Harbord Road, Freshwater A 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home purchased through Upstate. 38 rental groups through. Asking price was over $600 per week – we leased it for $680 after just 1 open home!

Those rental properties are moving fast!

Because of the high demand for great rental properties and our high standard of service, some properties have even been immediately rented without the need for marketing at all. These tenants have come from our active database.

This has made us quite popular with landlords, as you can imagine. Not only are their properties marketed well to increase traffic, but we also provide them with stellar results.

But we’re still keeping everyone super safe

Despite the surge of renters at our Open homes, safety is still our #1 concern and priority.

With so much traffic at our open homes, we’re continuing to follow stringent precautions, including:

  • Allowing only a small number of people to go into a property at one time
  • Everyone who enters is required to wear a mask
  • Our team all wear masks and provide hand-sanitiser
  • An electronic sign-in of every individual upon entry
  • Maintaining a 1.5m distance from one another

With these safety measures, we’re ensuring everyone is safe while they find their next home.
