Housing Outlook – State and National

Gain a deep insight into the Australian housing industry with HIA’s quarterly Housing Outlook reports. The Outlooks bring together the latest housing data nationally, and by state to provide you with an understanding of how the home building, apartment and renovations sectors will perform in the coming years.

The Outlooks cover:

• Historic home building performance from across the country 
• Nationwide housing sales, approvals and finance information  
• Analysis of the Australian and international economic outlook, and interest rates that will impact home building 
• Projections for the rate of single dwelling and multi-dwelling starts over the next three years 
• Commentary on other key housing issues.  

Expertise you can trust

HIA is dedicated to expanding the understanding of residential building and the industry’s role in the economy. We have a proven track record as a trusted authority on what’s next for the sector with industry and governments. Our research can be grouped into four broad categories:

• Tracking construction activity 
• Assessing broader economic conditions 
• Liaising with industry participants 
• Modelling demographic developments in the context of housing demand.
