@scottkuru: Everyone keeps saying migration is the whole housing crisis story. It’s not. Even if migration went to zero tomorrow, Australia would still need hundreds of thousands of new homes. Why? Because housing demand is not just driven by population growth, it’s driven by household formation. That is the hidden pressure point most people are missing. Australia built housing for bigger households, but demand is shifting toward singles, downsizers, older Australians and smaller family units. The stock is mismatched, and the gap is growing. So next time someone says migration is the entire problem, remember this: even with no extra people, shrinking household sizes alone would still leave us needing a massive amount of housing.

That’s because for over 40yrs previous governments haven’t invested into housing. Who was in power for the majority of those 40yrs 🤔

the answer is very easy by capping how much a landlord can charge 80% of their quality rate notice, for example if your quality rate notice is $ 1,000 then the landlord can only charge by law $800.00 per week otherwise get a $100,000 fine. $500 per quarter= $400 per week so simple so easy

Not to mention all the empty homes, implement a levy on homes left vacant for long periods and use that for public housing. Either pay the levy, rent it out or sell it.

That lower number is also based on lower birth rates as well.

Houses being built has outstripped population growth for the past decade, that's for 2.5 people per house. The issue is clearly investors putting too much pressure on demand

It’s not migraines it’s the government and all the charges and taxes they’re putting on people. No wonder I can’t afford to have an investment property.

You have forgotten a recent an additional cause of household size shrinkage. AirB&B now means housing is removed from the permanent rental market so we can all have a “share” in a holiday home to rent rather than use the traditional purpose built holiday accomodation - Hotels, large houses divided and run as B&B, caravans and cabins on tourist parks etc.
