Why are rentals strong in Milwaukee ?

According to the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors, the Milwaukee metro area needs about 3,600 additional homes to satisfy pent-up demand. But as the Milwaukee Business Journal points out, rising land prices in Southeastern Wisconsin (where Milwaukee is located) may keep housing prices rising. In turn, this may create a growing demand for rental property if people can’t afford to buy. Key Market Stats: Median rent in Milwaukee is $1,143 per month and $1,321 in the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area (as of Oct. 2019). Over the last five years, rents in Milwaukee have risen by more than 15%. According to RENTCafé the average rent in Milwaukee grew by 4% over the last year alone. 45% of the housing units in Milwaukee are occupied by renters. About 69% of the total rental units in Milwaukee rent for between $701 and $1,500 per month. Neighbourhoods in Milwaukee with the lowest average monthly rents include Cold Spring Park, Concordia, and Hawthorne Glen where rents are $584 per month. Areas in Milwaukee where the rents are highest include Yankee Hill, Kilbourn Town, and Schlitz Park where rents range between $1,460 and $1,521 per month. The below graphs show the renting statistics in Milwaukee, as you can see 77% of the rental market is located in the price range Global Investments property lie : Milwaukee real estate and rents are both relatively affordable, but what matters most is how much locals can afford. It is their incomes relative to rental rates and property prices that determine whether or not they can buy a home. Wisconsin came in third on a 2017 housing affordability report. Home prices are going up relative to incomes, and that’s forcing many renters to remain renters and newcomers to the area to rent instead of buy. Constrained Supply Keeps Property Values Strong. Milwaukee’s real estate market is seeing home values go up due to limited supply. The issue is particularly acute for properties costing less than $300,000. This means that many families that want to live in a house will have to rent, because they struggle to find homes to buy. The supply isn’t helped by the modest pace of home construction because most properties being built cost over $300,000. Another factor is the labor market itself. There is a scarcity of skilled labor to build new homes at the rate they’re needed. Yes, the Milwaukee real estate market is seeing homes built, but as we already said, most of the talent that is available is building luxury homes – not affordable ones. Conclusion : Despite Covid, property prices are set to rise in Milwaukee in 2021 and the rental market is stronger than ever.

The UK’s number one hotspot for rental yields

It is a know fact that the best valued properties in the UK are in the North of England but the north-east leads the way in terms of value and return. This is due to a mix of low property prices, high rental yields and good prospects for rising property prices in the future. If you look at the UK House Price Index, the north-east of England is by far the cheapest location to buy a house , the average price for a house is just £125,650 as compared to the national average house price across England being £251,233. In the north-east you can find brick terraced houses for as little as £49,900 and some of these come with tenants in place, there is a great opportunity for investors to enter the UK’s buy-to-let market at a low entry point with consistent and healthy returns. While the average national return on rental properties is just 4.2%, the North East property often delivers more favourable returns of up to 10%. The north-east region is made up of Tyne and Wear, Teesside, County Durham and Northumberland, it has a population of around 2.6 million.The biggest city in the North East is Newcastle but there are other great investments areas like Sunderland, Durham, Bishop Auckland, North Shields, Hartlepool, Hexham, Darlington, Chester le Street, Stockton-on-Tees, Jarrow and Morpeth. The economy in the north is starting to see an upturn in recent years, the economic gap with other parts of the country is closing.  According to the recent Government statistics, the North East of England has one of the fast growing economies in all of the UK, estimated to be worth £35.5bn. We have seen the opening of many great new manufacturing plants in the north-east, examples of these are Nissan in Sunderland and Hitachi in Durham. The Sunderland Nissan factory is Nissan’s biggest car plant globally and ranked among the world’s top five leading car-makers. The north-east is a very popular student location, Newcastle has the largest student population in the north-east and has been named as the UK’s ‘Best University City’ for the past three years running by MSN .You also have Sunderland, Durham and Middlesbrough where there are also great universities. There will always be a demand for accommodation in university towns and cities, houses in the right locations are highly sought after. Newcastle was recently voted as the best city for quality of life and also the UK’s happiest city.  Durham has its famous University with a thriving commercial sector alongside it. Sunderland and Middlesbrough have been voted numbers 1 and 2 respectively as the best places to invest in student property. The north-east is competing to become the UK’s main digital hub, there has been huge investments in recent years, the North East is home to IT companies like Sage, Hewlett-Packard and ZeroLight who all contribute to the regions digital and IT sector, this sector is estimated to be worth around £1.1bn to the economy. But it is not just the Digital Hub or Universities that are tempting companies away from the South, there is no doubt that commercial office space has played a major part. Commercial office space in the North East is approximately 30% cheaper than in other cities around the UK and is almost 68% cheaper than in London. Even-though property prices are low as compared to other parts of the UK all of the above factors mean there is a strong demand for property to rent. The influx of students and corporate employees are pushing a strong rental market.
