Sydney\u2019s rental crisis is pushing granny flat prices to record levels<\/strong>, with costs in some areas now approaching\u00a0CBD apartment prices<\/strong>, according to\u00a0realestate.com.au<\/em>. Intense tenant demand, record-low vacancy rates and a shortage of affordable rental homes have driven investors and homeowners to increasingly turn to granny flats as a fast, income-generating housing solution.<\/p>\n Mayla Pilapil 3A Stone Parade two-bedroom granny flat renting for $720pw.
