Improving macroeconomic conditions are helping to increase property industry confidence nationwide, but Victoria continues to be the ugly duckling with confidence falling, according to the latest Procore/Property Council Survey.
Property Council of Australia Group Executive Policy and Advocacy Matthew Kandelaars said expectations around a stable interest rate environment and easier access to debt finance are helping to underscore the industry as it deals with broken state planning systems and government inefficiencies.
“We see in the survey that high expectations around housing price growth are being driven by a dire undersupply of housing across Australia.
“Participants have said housing supply and affordability is the main concern for the federal and state governments at historically elevated levels since March 2021. This simply cannot continue,” he said. – April 2024
