We need to build tens of thousands of houses each year to solve the housing crisis

 

Housing Minister Clare O’Neil tells the ABC that the housing crisis in Australia has been a “generation in the making”.

To solve this crisis, the government have been looking to pass into legislation a number of programmes.

The standout programme is The Help to buy Scheme

The Help to Buy Scheme to act as the Bank of Mum and Dad and partner with 40,000 first home buyers who are key workers - teachers, train drivers, nurses. 

This is an amazing programme where the government will partner with Key Workers to buy their first home. 

It's a WIN WIN WIN .... The Labour Government supports this, so why doesn't the greens or the libs. This is one programme that should be bipartisan!! 

It does not even have to be treated as an expense, as the government will recover this money, as they will be co-investing in Bricks and Mortar!! 

Let's make this happen!!!!!

Is Australia becoming a population of renters?

Demand from existing homeowners and investors will continue over the next 10 years as a shortage of houses is expected to continue - as 130k migrants pour into Australia each year, writes Michael Bleby of the AFR. He points out that new loans to investor buyers rose 5.6 per cent in April, their fastest monthly rate since November 2021. 

Although higher borrowing and construction costs have made new projects unviable for many developers , Emma Bray from Macromonitor expects housing starts to increase . 

They have to!! 

She says they estimate that housing starts lifted sharply from a forecast 162,000 this financial year (a 6.5 per cent decline from FY23), up nearly 12 per cent next year to 181,000, up 20 per cent in FY26 to 217,000 and a further 16 per cent to 251,000 in 2027.

So, who will buy these homes? 

Investors or homebuyers? 

It seems that Australia will become a renter society with young people and new migrants not being able to afford the Australian dream of home ownership .

Property prices expected to surge in most capital cities in 2025 ! Time to buy?

House prices in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney expect to have a growth spurt by 8pc says Nicola Powell - research and economics chief of Domain talks to Nila Sweeney of the afr.

Domain predicts Sydney house prices are poised to increase Ny $132k to an average of $1.76m - a climb by up to 8 per cent - with Perth Adelaide and Brisbane hitting the )1m mark!!

She suggests units will increase more than houses - as that is what most can now afford ! 

Why?

• strong population growth, 
• increased borrowing capacity 
• a supply shortage as a result of 
• - a scarcity of land, weak building approvals and high construction costs

So what will slow down this increase?

“ Affordability constraints and serviceability limits” says Nicola

Melbourne is expected to be sluggish next year - but Nicola expects the spurt to come !!

Government and industry need to work together to find a solution to help those who cannot afford to buy a property to be able to !!

There are solutions to 

• increase supply
• Help front line workers and those who can’t afford to enter the property marke

Some solutions 

• Co-buying 
• Co-investing 
• Fractional ownership 
• Government support - “help to buy” 
• Opening immigration to construction workers - concessional interest rates? 
• Fast train to outer areas ?

Exciting times ahead
