Crafers Property Manager for Your Peace of Mind

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Crafers is almost entirely houses, and most of them are large. The 2021 Census found separate houses made up 97.5% of occupied Crafers homes, four-bedroom-plus homes 47.6%, and rentals a mere 8.9%. Lease a home here and you hold one of very few family houses for rent at the top of the freeway, which makes condition and price the two things that set your vacancy.

Our Axiom Realty team leases, manages and sells homes right through Greater Adelaide. For a Crafers house we plan around what hills weather and bushland do to a building, and around tenants who usually want to stay through the school years.

Looking After Crafers Houses

Sloping blocks, tall trees and cold winters

Crafers grew up around an inn. David Crafer opened the Sawyers Arms in 1839, and a later hotel built on the site in 1880 still trades as the Crafers Inn. The primary school has been on Piccadilly Road since 1928. Most homes are much newer than that, but many sit on sloping land among tall trees, where leaf litter, steep driveways and stormwater runoff take a toll faster than they would on the plains.

We visit each Crafers rental on a routine inspection four times yearly, and you get photos of every visit in a written report. We look at gutters, retaining walls, decks and the ground around the house, because water pooling against a footing on a hillside is what leads to the large repair bills. Once several jobs have piled up, we tour the house together and rank them, attaching a price from one of our regular tradespeople to each.

Hills blocks raise planning questions as well. Felling a big tree, building a deck or swapping an old shed can each require Planning and Design Code consent, and some hills land carries hazard overlays, bushfire being one. Type your address into the PlanSA Code viewer to see its zone and overlays. If a Crafers job looks like it could need consent, you hear about it from us before any tradesperson is booked. The rest of what we do is on our residential property management page.

Who Rents in Crafers

Families, professionals and the drive to the city

Families dominate here. In the 2021 count, 49.6% of Crafers families were couples raising children, and 82.4% of households were family households. Professionals (38.7%) and managers (21.3%) were the two largest occupation groups, while 16.5% of working residents did their job from home on Census day; the statewide rate was 9.6%.

For years the South Eastern Freeway started at Crafers, and since the Heysen Tunnels opened in 2000 it has run straight down to Glen Osmond. Adelaide Metro buses also connect the suburb with the city through the day. A tenant who commutes or works some days at home values a study, heating that copes with a hills winter and parking for at least two cars; 30.4% of Crafers households had three or more vehicles in 2021.

With so few local homes for lease, a well-kept house tends to hold a good tenant, and each lease renewed keeps empty weeks and fresh advertising off your books.

Landlords nearby can read our pages for Stirling, Crafers West, Aldgate, Upper Sturt and Waterfall Gully. Twice a week your rent is paid out, and if you own from another state, our interstate owner service explains how that works.

Have a Question?

Not many. Just 8.9% of occupied Crafers homes were tenanted at the 2021 Census, where the South Australian share was 27.6%, and 43.0% had no mortgage at all. The rental pool is small, and a tidy family house rarely faces much direct competition on the listings.
