The rental values of houses in the capital hit a five-year low in June 2022. The cost of renting a house was up 2.7 per cent in the year to November 2024, and units were up 1.2 per cent. CoreLogic's head of research Tim Lawless expected some further recovery in rental prices come January, due to increased demand from first-timers to the ACT. "That is typically a strong time for rents, so we are likely to see a further boost for investors in the early part of 2025," he said. The head of property management at Bastion Property Group, Stephanie Traycevska, said enquiries from Defence staff and diplomats had already begun. She expected an upswing from people taking on public service graduate roles in the new year. Ms Traycevska expected the inner south to be a particular hotspot in early 2025. "We expect prices to go up slightly in the new year, particularly towards the end of January," she said. Ms Traycevska said properties rented for $600 to $750, particularly in suburbs like Barton and Kingston, were likely to be the most in-demand come the new year. "It has to be [balanced] because if rents are too expensive, people will go into the older suburbs," she said. "People will make a longer commute and just deal with it "For landlords to keep an investment property while there are high interest prices, we have to look at prices at least staying stagnant, if not going up," Ms Traycevska said. January is a time in which the Canberra rental market tends to heat up. Picture supplied Renters are already feeling the strain of rising prices in the ACT's inner suburbs and are opting for established share houses or renting directly through landlords, one agent said.

Despite the small uptick in rental prices, vacancy rates were higher than this time last year. "The rise in remote work in recent years has reshaped the landscape," she said. "Since 2022-23, we have observed a shift as some public servant employees embrace coastal lifestyles and working remotely while stepping away from Canberra's rental market," Ms Hledik said. Mr Lawless said a federal election thrown into the mix in early 2025 could also create a time for new renters to get into the market on lower prices. "For Canberra, an election is quite meaningful. The market tends to pause in the lead-up," he said. "I always think it is good to get [into the market] counter-cyclically. "There might not be as much stock in the market but you will probably have less competition," Mr Lawless said.

Govt targets: More than half behind
Arizona (7-8) at Los Angeles Rams (9-6) Saturday, 8:15 p.m. EST, NFL Network BetMGM NFL odds : Rams by 6 1/2. Against the spread: Cardinals 9-6; Rams 8-7. Series record: Rams lead 50-41-2. Last meeting: Cardinals beat Rams 41-10 in Glendale, Ariz. on Sept. 15. Last week: Cardinals lost to Carolina 36-30, OT; Rams beat New York Jets 19-9. Cardinals offense: overall (11), rush (5), pass (20), scoring (14). Cardinals defense: overall (20), rush (22), pass (13), scoring (T-13). Rams offense: overall (15), rush (20), pass (13), scoring (17). Rams defense: overall (24), rush (25), pass (19), scoring (21). Turnover differential: Cardinals minus-4; Rams plus-5. WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a relatively productive rookie season with 51 catches for 726 yards and seven touchdowns. But it’s also true that he hasn’t always looked like the true franchise changing force the Cardinals expected when they took him with the No. 4 overall pick. Arizona might be out of the playoff race, but Harrison’s development continues to be a major focus for the team down the stretch. RB Kyren Williams is coming off his best game of the season after rushing for 122 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries to help Los Angeles grind out a win at the Meadowlands. He hardly factored into the first meeting against Arizona, a game the Rams trailed 14-0 halfway into the first quarter and 24-3 at halftime, getting 12 carries and running for 25 yards and a touchdown behind a battered offensive line. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray vs. Rams defensive line. Los Angeles had no answers for Murray in September as he threw for 266 yards and three touchdowns without an interception and added 59 yards rushing. But their defensive front is much more cohesive than it was in the second week of the season, with rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske proving to be menaces in the backfield. If Murray feels that pressure and can’t keep his eyes downfield, the Rams will be in much better shape to limit Arizona’s passing game. The Cardinals have been beat up over the past two games. Both of the starting tackles — Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) and Jonah Williams (knee) — are out for the season after they were put on injured reserve this week. Others such as RB James Conner (knee), LB Baron Browning (neck), LB Mack Wilson Sr. (concussion) and DL Darius Robinson (calf) have been limited during practice. ... The Rams are in good shape, a far cry from where they were to start the season. RT Rob Havenstein was the only name on their injury report through Wednesday, when he was limited because of a shoulder injury. Arizona has not swept the season series since 2014 when the Rams were playing in St. Louis. ... The Rams and Cardinals have split the past four meetings. Arizona had dropped 11 of the previous 12 in the series. ... Los Angeles is 3-2 against Arizona since moving into SoFi Stadium in 2020, kickstarting its run to the Super Bowl after the 2021 season with a 34-11 win in an NFC wild-card game. The Cardinals have lost four of their past five games and were eliminated from the playoff race after last week’s 36-30 loss to the Carolina Panthers. The Cardinals have made the playoffs just once over the past nine seasons. That was in 2021 ... Harrison had four catches for 130 yards and two TDs vs. the Rams in Week 2. All of that production came in the span of seven plays in the first quarter. ... The Cardinals are No. 5 in the NFL with 145.8 yards rushing per game. They also rank No. 2 with 5.28 yards per carry. ... Chad Ryland has made 25 field goals since his debut in Week 5, which ranks fourth in the NFL over that span. ... Safety Budda Baker has a career-high 148 tackles this season, which broke his previous high of 147 set in 2019. ... James Conner has 1,500 yards from scrimmage this season, including 1,090 rushing and 410 receiving. ... Trey McBride has caught 91 passes this season, which is a franchise record at tight end for the Cardinals. ... The Rams can clinch a playoff spot with a win and either a Seahawks loss or tie or a series of results elsewhere to secure the strength of victory tiebreaker. ... Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for 110 yards against the Jets. Los Angeles has won all four games this season where Stafford has finished with fewer than 200 yards through the air. ... WR Puka Nacua had a record-setting rookie season, but Arizona was the one team that kept him in check. Nacua made four catches in each of the two meetings in 2023, finishing with 26 and 27 yards. ... The Rams didn’t have LT Alaric Jackson (suspension), LG Steve Avila (knee) or Nacua (knee) in the Week 2 game against the Cardinals. ... Los Angeles has run for at least 132 yards in four straight games, with Williams accounting for at least 87 yards in each outing that span. Cooper Kupp likely sank many a fantasy title push with his limited production over the past month, and the Rams WR should remain on benches this week for any owners still in the mix. Kupp has topped 44 yards receiving once in his past five games against Arizona. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLThe end of the year can be a fantastic time to check in on your investments -- and perhaps even give your portfolio a boost by investing in more stocks or funds. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a simple way to invest in dozens or even hundreds of stocks at once, making them an ideal choice for those who are short on time or would prefer to avoid spending countless hours researching individual stocks. There are seemingly endless ETFs to choose from, all with their unique advantages and disadvantages. While there's no single right choice for everyone, there's one Warren Buffett-approved ETF that I'm stocking up on before the end of the year. A powerful investment that can protect your portfolio One of Warren Buffett's most recommended investments is the S&P 500 ETF. This type of fund contains all the stocks within the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC 0.25% ) itself, which includes 500 of the largest, strongest companies in the U.S. Investing in just one share of an S&P 500 ETF will allow you to instantly buy into hundreds of stocks across a wide variety of industries. This can provide immediate diversification , limiting your risk with far less effort than buying a few dozen stocks individually. Because the S&P 500 only includes large companies, all the stocks within the ETF are powerhouse businesses ranging from Apple , Amazon , and Nvidia , to Procter & Gamble , 3M , and Coca-Cola . If you're looking to gain exposure to industry leaders from all corners of the stock market, you can't go wrong with an S&P 500 ETF. Gaining the Buffett seal of approval Through Berkshire Hathaway , Buffett owns two of these types of funds: the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF ( VOO 0.20% ) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust ( SPY 0.19% ) . A few years ago, Buffett even put his money where his mouth was by making a $1 million bet that an S&P 500 fund could outperform a group of five actively managed hedge funds over a decade. The results? His investment earned total returns of close to 126% in that time, while the hedge funds saw returns ranging from just 2.8% to 87.7%. Combined, the five hedge funds averaged returns of around 36% over 10 years. In Berkshire Hathaway's letter to shareholders following the bet, Buffett noted: Earn hundreds of thousands of dollars over time The S&P 500 ETF is a relatively safe investment, but it could still help you earn a lot of money with enough time and consistency. Historically, the S&P 500 itself has earned an average rate of return of around 7% per year . A long-term outlook is key with this type of investment, as you're likely to see wide fluctuations in returns from year to year. But over decades, those annual ups and downs should average out to a more consistent figure. Say you were to invest $200 per month in an S&P 500 ETF while earning 7% average annual returns. At that rate, here's approximately how those contributions would add up over decades: Number of Years Total Portfolio Value 20 $98,000 25 $152,000 30 $227,000 35 $332,000 40 $479,000 Data source: Author's calculations via investor.gov. The longer you allow your investments to grow, the more you can potentially earn. No matter how much you can afford to contribute each month, getting started sooner rather than later can increase your earnings exponentially. As with any investment, time and consistency are key. The S&P 500 ETF can be a fantastic choice for those looking for a safer, more reliable investment, and getting started early is the most effective way to maximize your earnings. By taking full advantage of this Buffett-approved ETF, you could earn more than you might think over time.None
Even with access to blockbuster obesity drugs, some people don't lose weightQB Daniel Jones disagrees with the Giants' decision to bench him and says he wants to playPremier League action returned on Boxing Day as the English top flight continued through its difficult festive period. Manchester City looked to arrest its poor run of form in the early kickoff against visiting Everton, while Chelsea hoped to keep pressure on Liverpool in the title race in a home tie against visiting Fulham in a London Derby. Elsewhere, Aston Villa and Newcastle locked horns at Villa Park as both looked to pressure the top-four, in form Nottingham Forest looked to pounce on a struggling Tottenham while remaining in the Champions League places, and bottom-sitting Southampton looked to end their slide against West Ham on the South Coast. Bournemouth's unexpected push for the European places would see them welcome Crystal Palace to Vitality Stadium to round out the fixtures before two critical evening clashes. Manchester United traveled to a Wolves outfit benefitting from a new manager bump, and Liverpool hosted Leicester City at Anfield to continue their push for a debut season title under Arne Slot. Here's how it all went down across the country. What happened? 📝 Pep Guardiola's Man City could not find three points at the Etihad against recent draw specialists Everton, extending their winless run in the Premier League to four after a frustrating 1-1 scoreline at full time. Chelsea slipped up in their pursuit of a Premier League title after going 1-0 up at home against Fulham, only to see the Cottagers storm back with a 2-1 win thanks to an equalizer from Harry Wilson, and late Rodrigo Muniz winner in stoppage-time. 82 - Chelsea have lost a Premier League game they were leading as late as the 82nd minute for the first time since October 1999, when they were ahead until the 83rd minute against Arsenal but lost 3-2 with Kanu scoring a hat-trick. Memories. — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) Newcastle put ten-man Aston Villa to the sword at St. James' Park in a resounding 3-0 win on Tyneside, with Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak, and Joelinton all finding the back of the net. A dream season continues after Nottingham Forest piled on the misery for Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou, with Forest banking a 1-0 win at home against a Spurs side who ended the day with ten men after a red card in stoppage time. The horror on the South Coast has yet to be arrested after Southampton were bested 1-0 at St. Mary's by visiting West Ham United, with Jarrod Bowen finding the lone goal in the tie. Bournemouth and Crystal Palace played out a nil-nil draw, with the Cherries guaranteed to end matchday 18 in the top six. Vítor Pereira is already making waves after a 2-0 win over ten-man Manchester United, becoming the first Wolves manager since 1977 to secure wins in his first two top-flight fixtures. Goals from Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan sealed the points after Bruno Fernandes was sent off just after the break. 5 - Since Rúben Amorim's first game in charge of Manchester United in November, only Southampton (6) have lost more games among Premier League sides in all competitions than their five. Teething. — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) Liverpool once again produced their title credentials to close out Boxing Day with a 3-1 comeback win over visiting Leicester City. André Ayew had set the Foxes off early with a goal in the 6th minute, but strikes just on either side of the interval from Cody Gakpo and Curtis Jones sealed all three points for the Reds before Mohamed Salah put the final touches on proceedings. Player of the Day 🔥 Former Arsenal starlet Alex Iwobi may have gifted a late present to his former employers after a sensational display from the Nigerian international aided in Fulham's 2-1 upset win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Alex Iwobi for Fulham vs. Chelsea: ◉ Most passes in final third (23) ◉ Most duels won (8) ◉ Most successful take-ons (4) ◉ Most chances created (4) ◉ Most fouls won (3) — Squawka Live (@Squawka_Live) Playing arguably the best football of his career since his move to Craven Cottage, Iwobi produced an all-action display in the London Derby to give the Blues a moment of pause on their potential title march, leaving the door open for the Gunners to climb up to second in the table should the win against Ipswich tomorrow. Stat of the Day 📊 Football is a funny old game, and sometimes, the gods set out to teach you a lesson in humility. For Manchester City star Erling Haaland, that lesson has been a rather harsh one surrounding the club's massive slump in form under Pep Guardiola as the season trods on. Since the club's 1-1 draw against Arsenal earlier this campaign, the Norwegian goalscoring machine has broken down in front of goal, while missing 11 clear-cut chances along the way. Since Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Arsenal, Erling Haaland has missed more clear-cut goalscoring opportunities (11) than any other Premier League player. 🫠 Stay humble, eh? — WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) If City are to get back to their best at least guarantee Champions League football next season, Haaland may have to humble himself just enough to re-fire himself in the new year. What this means Liverpool head into Sunday with a seven-point clear over Chelsea as things stand, with Arsenal now capable of jumping up to second depending on their result tomorrow. How does that look, Liverpool fans? 🔝 — Premier League (@premierleague) Nottingham Forest temporarily sits third after their win over Tottenham, Newcastle United moves up to fifth while level on points with Bournemouth in sixth, both of whom now sit ahead of Manchester City in seventh. Fulham are up to eighth after leapfrogging Aston Villa (9th), while Spurs, West Ham, Manchester United, and Crystal Palace all remain in the bottom half of the table. Wolves are officially out of the bottom three thanks to their win, while all three promoted clubs now find themselves in the relegation places. What they said 🗣 Manchester City manager remained in a defiant mood despite the frustrating result against the Toffees, claiming "The team played really good. I don't know how many shots we had on goal. They scored a goal at the end." "We were very patient. We make crosses and crosses. I think we were very patient." PEP 💬 The team played really good. I don't know how many shots we had on goal. They score a goal at the end. We were very patient. We make crosses and crosses. I think we were patient. That’s the momentum of the season and run we are in. It takes more time to make it work. — Manchester City (@ManCity) was far from happy with VAR after seeing Jhon Durán questionably sent off during Villa's 3-0 defeat at Newcastle, stating "I can accept maybe the other team asking for a red card, okay. But VAR please, and confirm it because the punishment now is three matches." took to his media duties after Chelsea's late defeat against Fulham and offered a pointed answer regarding the unexpected absence of Noni Madueke, stating only that it was a "technical decision" that saw the England winger completely out of the squad. Manchester United boss looked for the positives after the Red Devils fell to a 2-0 defeat at Wolves. "I think the good thing is we were near the goal, even with 10 men. That is a good thing, but we lost. It’s so tough to win games in this league with 11 men. With 10 men, it’s more difficult. We have to focus on that.” What's next? 👀 A mid-table clash between Brighton and Brentford could prove to be entertaining as Fabian Hürzeler locks horns with Thomas Frank at the Amex before Arsenal hopes to climb into second place as Mikel Arteta's Gunners look to secure all three points against visiting Ipswich. 📸 PAUL ELLIS - AFP or licensors

The new, 12-team College Football Playoff brings with it a promise to be bigger, more exciting, more lucrative. Perfect or 100% fair? Well, nobody ever believed that. The first expanded playoff bracket unveiled Sunday left a presumably deserving Alabama team on the sideline in favor of an SMU squad with a better record after playing a schedule that was not as difficult. It ranked undefeated Oregon first but set up a possible rematch against Ohio State, the team that came closest to beating the Ducks this year. It treated underdog Boise State like a favorite and banged-up Georgia like a world beater at No. 2. It gave Ohio State home-field advantage against Tennessee for reasons it would take a supercomputer to figure out. It gave the sport the multiweek tournament it has longed for, but also ensured there will be plenty to grouse about between now and when the trophy is handed out on Jan. 20 after what will easily be the longest college football season in history. All of it, thankfully, will be sorted out on the field starting with first-round games on campuses Dec. 20 and 21, then over three succeeding rounds that will wind their way through traditional bowl sites. Maybe Oregon coach Dan Lanning, whose undefeated Ducks are the favorite to win it all, put it best when he offered: "Winning a national championship is not supposed to be easy.” Neither, it turns out, is figuring out who should play for it. SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings passes the ball in the first half of the ACC championship game against Clemson on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C. The Big Ten will lead the way with four teams in the tournament, followed by the SEC with three and the ACC with two. The lasting memory from the inaugural bracket will involve the decision that handed the ACC that second bid. Alabama of the SEC didn't play Saturday. SMU of the ACC did. The Mustangs fell behind by three touchdowns to Clemson before coming back to tie. But they ultimately lost 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal as time expired. “We were on pins and needles,” SMU coach Rhett Lashley said. “Until we saw the name ‘SMU’ up there, we were hanging on the edge. We're really, really happy and thankful to the committee for rewarding our guys for their total body of work." The Mustangs only had two losses, compared to three for the Crimson Tide. Even though SMU's schedule wasn't nearly as tough, the committee was impressed by the way the Mustangs came back against Clemson. “We just felt, in this particular case, SMU had the nod above Alabama,” said Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, the chairman of the selection committee. “But it’s no disrespect to Alabama’s strength of schedule. We looked at the entire body of work for both teams.” Oregon offensive lineman Iapani Laloulu celebrates after winning the Big Ten championship game against Penn State on Saturday in Indianapolis. Georgia, the SEC champion, was seeded second; Boise State, the Mountain West champion, earned the third seed; and Big 12 titlist Arizona State got the fourth seed and the fourth and final first-round bye. All will play in quarterfinals at bowl games on Dec. 31-Jan. 1. Clemson stole a bid and the 12th seed with its crazy win over SMU, the result that ultimately cost Alabama a spot in the field. The Tigers moved to No. 16 in the rankings, but got in as the fifth-best conference winner. Automatic byes and bids made the bracket strange The conference commissioners' idea to give conference champions preferable treatment in this first iteration of the 12-team playoff could be up for reconsideration after this season. The committee actually ranked Boise State, the Mountain West Champion, at No. 9 and Big 12 champion Arizona State at No. 12, but both get to skip the first round. Another CFP guideline: There’s no reseeding of teams after each round, which means no break for Oregon. The top-seeded Ducks will face the winner of Tennessee-Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Oregon beat Ohio State 32-31 earlier this year in one of the season’s best games. Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. hits Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton during the second half of the SEC championship game on Saturday in Atlanta. No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas, Dec. 21: Clemson is riding high after the SMU upset, while Texas is 0-2 against Georgia and 11-0 vs. everyone else this season. The winner faces ... Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Huh? No. 11 SMU at No. 6 Penn State, Dec. 21: The biggest knock against the Mustangs was that they didn't play any big boys with that 60th-ranked strength of schedule. Well, now they get to. The winner faces ... Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Yes, SMU vs. Boise was the quarterfinal we all expected. No. 10 Indiana at No. 7 Notre Dame, Dec. 20: Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti thought his team deserved a home game. Well, not quite but close. The winner gets ... Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs got the No. 2 seed despite a throwing-arm injury to QB Carson Beck. But what else was the committee supposed to do? No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Ohio State, Dec. 21: The Buckeyes (losses to Oregon, Michigan) got home field over the Volunteers (losses to Arkansas, Georgia) in a matchup of programs with two of the biggest stadiums in football. The winner faces ... Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Feels like that matchup should come in the semifinals or later.
