Episode 8: The Australian Renter in 2025
In this episode, we take a closer look at the evolving profile of Australian renters in 2025 and what it means for both developers and policymakers. Nicole Hiddlestone shares her expert insights on the latest trends in both Build-to-Sell (BTS) and Build-to-Rent (BTR) apartment markets, highlighting the most in-demand features, common pitfalls developers are making and how renter expectations are shifting. We also explore the broader implications for housing policy, particularly as renters now make up around 30% of all households, an even larger share among younger Australians. Nicole provides a practical lens into what government needs to understand about the rental experience, from the perspectives of tenants and investors alike and what’s required to support a more stable, responsive rental sector.
Nicole Hiddlestone is a Licensed Estate Agent with over 18 years’ experience in property management and project leasing, with a deep specialisation in the Build-to-Rent sector. As Head of Strategic Growth at Infolio, she leads the Project Leasing and BTR division, working closely with developers from concept through to delivery. Nicole is known for developing innovative leasing strategies that reduce vacancy rates, speed up leasing and increase tenant retention. She partners with clients to optimise floor plans, pricing and renter experience, and helps them navigate the complex regulatory and operational landscape of rental housing to achieve long-term success.
A must-listen for developers, investors, policymakers and anyone interested in the future of rental housing in Australia. Gain actionable insights into renter behaviour, leasing trends and the strategic decisions that will shape successful projects in 2025 and beyond.
