5 things I WISH I knew before moving out of home

Here are 5 things I WISH I knew before moving out of home! These tips would have been so helpful to know at the beginning of my search, but at least now I can pass them on to you. A 12-month-long journey, and we’ve finally made it! I sometimes have to pinch myself because I can’t believe that this is all happening. It’s crazy to me that I used to think I would never find a rental. I feel so grateful now that I’m in this space in which I can express myself creatively, learn and grow independently. I wish the same for all of you looking to move, so hopefully, this video can help! I delve into various topics such as finding housemates, communication, budgeting, habits, how to get approved for a property (the do’s and don’ts - especially as a young person looking for a rental) etc... Moving is a challenging yet exciting journey, and I’ve experienced the heartbreak when you don’t get accepted for a house, when a housemate isn’t the right fit anymore, when too many houses are just out of budget, when the rental crisis is so intense you lose hope. But keep going, because tomorrow may be the day you stumble across the house that’s meant for you. Melbourne’s rental crisis: The Melbourne rental market has become tighter than Sydney’s, with data from Domain showing a 64 per cent drop in rental listings over the last year. The same data shows Melbourne’s rental vacancy rate hit a record low of 0.8 per cent in February. That’s down from a peak of six per cent in December 2020, just after the Victorian capital came out of some lengthy Covid lockdowns. The latest PropTrack Market Insight Report released on Monday shows properties listed on for less than $400 per week fell to 17.6 per cent in February 2023 – the lowest it’s been since 2018.
