Spot on.
So for those who aren't familiar with gross rent yield, um what we're looking at is a basically a valuation of of rental income.
and putting it over a uh the the purchase price of the property.
When when we produce our monthly gross rent yield, what we're looking at is an annualized rent income based on current rent valuations and the current value of the property market.
So when
values in the property market are rising strongly, that tends to bring down your yield or compresses your yield.
And with rental markets, mm
not falling.
We're not seeing a decline in rents necessarily, but rents are kind of getting more stable.
Property prices continued fairly strong growth, um, including uh over the month.
We've seen the the gross rent yield kind of flatline for a very long time, um, ticked up to three point seven percent nationally in April.
But as you say, we don't see investors really following gross yields.
They tend to follow capital growth.
And I think that's the way we've kind of structured investment in Australia with um the ability to negatively gear these investment properties.
It kind of uh distorts the relationship perhaps between gross rent yield and investor interest.
Perhaps.
Um I I mean investment is at the moment also a very important part of supporting rental supply.
But I think um there is a subtle steer of the policy conversation back to the demand side.
It seems to be led by the Greens, but I feel like even more broadly.
there is a conversation that's shifting back to the demand side of of housing when we think about how to cool price growth or bring prices down.
