With the federal election on the horizon, housing affordability remains a pressing concern for Australians. In a bid to address this issue, the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has outlined seven key recommendations for policymakers to consider. Among these, slashing stamp duty stands out as a crucial reform that could ease financial burdens on homebuyers and stimulate market activity. As housing affordability continues to shape political discourse, these proposals could play a significant role in influencing voter sentiment and shaping the future of Australia’s real estate landscape.
Australia’s housing market remains resilient, with national home values holding steady despite shifting economic conditions. According to CoreLogic Australia, regional markets continue to outperform, reaching new record highs as demand for lifestyle and affordability drives growth outside major cities. This trend highlights the evolving preferences of homebuyers and investors, reflecting a broader shift in the real estate landscape. As regional Australia continues its upward trajectory, the question remains: how will this impact the overall market in the long term?
Confidence in Australia’s property market remains strong, with 65% of real estate agents predicting house prices will rise in 2025, according to CoreLogic Australia. Despite economic uncertainties and shifting interest rate expectations, market sentiment suggests continued growth, driven by supply constraints, population growth, and sustained buyer demand.
