Graham Maxwell in Otago Daily Times

Rental properties in Gore are 19% less affordable than they were five years ago, a report says.

FN Gore agent-owner Graham Maxwell said there had been "very little" vacancy for rental properties in Gore over the past few years.

"If you do have vacancy, you’re filling them within a week and the demand may be that you’ve got five or six people making inquiries."

With the construction of the Kaiwera Downs wind farm, migrating workers were inquiring about properties, he said.

"That puts a lot of pressure on our rental prices and availability. "They’ve just started inquiring and now are securing properties for September and November."

They were looking for furnished properties for up to 18 months and paid "significantly" above the market rate, he said.

A similar situation occurred when Mataura Valley Milk opened in 2018. "I see ongoing pressure on the rental market in terms of availability."

An upward trend in value would be likely and pressure on the market would continue, he said.
