The latest CoreLogic RP Data Quarterly Rental Review has outlined some of the growth seen across the country over the last quarter, which could be useful information for potential investors looking into real estate in Bentleigh to have at their disposal. 

CoreLogic RP Data research analyst Cameron Kusher outlined that advertised weekly rents for houses and units across the combined capital cities in Australia have risen by 1.2 per cent over the first quarter of 2015, recording an average of $435 and $415 respectively. 

However, it was Melbourne that saw the strongest rise over the three month period. Here, the weekly rent for houses increased by 1.3 per cent. This was followed by Canberra (1.1 per cent) and Sydney (one per cent).
