    International education overtakes wine as SA’s No.1 export

    On the 16/12/2019, South Australia's premier was boasting how International students were now South Australia's biggest export:

    How is Adelaide now? Is there huge number of student accommodation and rentals empty?

    Adelaide CBD has been building more towers of apartments than necessary for ages. There was already oversupply long before Covid19, which has resulted in no capital growth for the inner city units for the past decade. Yes, vacancy rates are up, rents are now down (slightly), and I suspect by the end of this year prices will be down too (unless Adelaide Uni can negotiate with Government to allow their students to return via private chartered flights with mandatory 14 day quarantine- this has been proposed...watching closely for the outcome).

    Apartments pretty much anywhere in Adelaide are a BAD investment. Plenty of apartments in New Port Quays and Glenelg that have had no capital growth for a decade.
