Episode Synopsis

Send us a textPrices don’t rise by magic; they rise when demand beats supply. This episode breaks down the data behind Australia’s housing shortage and why the next few years point to continued pressure on rents and property values. We examine the government’s 1.2-million-home pledge, weak approval numbers, low commencements, and a construction sector weighed down by insolvencies, all signalling structural scarcity.We unpack five years of approvals falling short of the 240,000-per-year target, commencements tracking even lower, and rising builder collapses from 2022 to 2024 shrinking future supply. Add strong net overseas migration and smaller household sizes, and Australia is left with more buyers and renters competing for too few dwellings, especially in major metro markets.For investors, this episode offers clear strategy. We explain why well-located metro assets should see resilient demand, how to assess risks across off-the-plan and house-and-land deals, and why finance stress-testing is crucial when build timelines slip. Subscribe, share with someone on the sidelines, and let us know where you’re seeing conditions tighten.Support the showLearn, invest, grow!
