Looking for sydney rental

Hi all

We are moving to Sydney on August 2nd and are looking for either a short term let before we find our place (say 3-4 weeks) or possibly even a long term let if something is available. We are two adults and an 11 month old. Open minded about the area so get in touch with any info. Many thanks.

I think it is too early to secure something if you are not coming out for 8 months or so.

Whatever is available now won't wait for you until August.

Have a look at Realestate.com.au to look at rental prices for various suburbs now to get a feel for the market.

Your best bet is to research online the suburbs you like - Sydney is huge so you need to at least narrow it down to an area - then book an Air B&B in that area for you first 3-4 weeks whilst you start viewing places to rent. We wanted to secure something before we arrived in Sydney too but none of the real estates that I emailed were interested. Viewings are done via 'open house' usually on Wednesdays & Saturdays only. It's a set time, you get 15 mins along with 30 other people to look around & then if you like it it's a race against time to apply before somebody else snaps it up! There's so much competition in Sydney, it's ridiculous! We live in Sydney so f you need any other advice feel free to ask away .
