Hi keffola
Under normal circumstances that would be the case. But there are many complexities. The huge demand for investment properties utilizing the benefits of NG have "helped" to artificially increase the value of residential property, and therefore served to shut out huge segments of potential purchasers, like the young and first home buyers. These unsatisfied, would be home owners are then forced to rent, thereby increasing rental property demand and rents. As I mentioned, the dynamic is a lot more complex. There are many other components to the equation, such as poor wages growth and foreign investment buyers leaving properties vacant - to name but a few.
