Leased in 12 Days: How We Beat the Craigieburn Rental Average and Saved Our Landlord $1,384

When it comes to leasing your investment property, time is literally money. And in this recent Craigieburn success story, we proved just how valuable the right strategy and local knowledge can be.

This rental property was leased in just 12 days—a big difference from the suburb average of 31 days on market. That’s 19 days faster, which translated into $1,384 in saved lost rent for our client.

Understanding the Craigieburn Rental Market

Craigieburn is a popular and growing suburb in Melbourne’s north, but like many areas, rental demand can fluctuate—especially around school holidays and public long weekends.

When this particular property became available, it was right in the middle of a slower leasing period:

• School holidays

• Two long weekends

• Low general enquiry volume across the market

Many landlords and agents might expect a longer vacancy period during this kind of month. But that’s where we do things differently.

The Strategy That Delivered Results

At our property management agency, we don’t just list and hope for the best—we launch a targeted campaign that’s based on local insight and real-time data.

Here’s what we did:

• Professional marketing to showcase the property online

• Strategic pricing based on current tenant demand

• Premium placement on rental portals

• Fast, clear communication with prospective tenants

We ran just one Saturday open home, and within 48 hours, we had:

• A qualified tenant application approved

• The first month’s rent paid that same evening

The Result?

• 12 days on market

• $1,384 in rent saved

• No unnecessary vacancy

• A happy landlord who felt informed and in control throughout the process

Why This Matters for Landlords

Every day your property sits vacant costs you money. The average days on market in Craigieburn is currently 31 days—but it doesn’t have to be your story.

If you’re working with a property manager who knows how to:

• Read the market

• Communicate with tenants

• Act quickly on quality applications

• And proactively manage your investment…

…then you can expect faster leasing times, better tenants, and stronger returns.
