Is there any verb omitted in this sentence? If so, can you tell me what it is?

Yes, there is a verb omitted here. The verb omitted in this case is "are", and this should be placed right between "vacancy rates" and "kind of increasing". So the full sentence here is "vacancy rates are kind of increasing". It sounds a little unnatural to omit the verb "are" like she does here.
