Undersupply in Australia’s housing market expected to get worse

REA Group economist Anne Flaherty says Australia’s housing market can expect undersupply to continue to get worse in the next couple of months.

“Nationally dwelling approvals were 20 per cent lower this September compared to the same September last year,” Ms Flaherty told Sky News Australia. “Dwelling approvals unfortunately are your best-case scenario for how many homes are going to get built; just because a project is approved to be built doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to get off the ground.

“At the same time dwelling approvals development activity is slowing; we’re seeing really strong population growth. “What this means is we’re very likely to continue to see an undersupply of homes to buy and also an undersupply of homes to rent.”
