The HIA-CoreLogic Residential Land Report provides updated information on sales activity in 51 housing markets across Australia, including the six state capital cities.
“Over the year to the March Quarter 2022, median lot prices increased by 19.7 per cent. This is not a normal increase – it is the strongest annual growth rate since 2004.
“Constrained supply of land will limit housing activity in Greenfield areas from mid-2023 onwards.”
“New data released by the ABS on demolitions suggests that knock-down rebuilds and small redevelopments are around 25 per cent of the market for house and townhouse builders in New South Wales. Encouragingly, this segment of the market appears to be growing rapidly, creating new opportunities for the industry,” added Mr Ward
According to CoreLogic Economist Kaytlin Ezzy: “The scarcity of available residential land continues to be a driving factor across Australian land markets, with land prices surging at a time when the number of lots sold is declining. While increasing interest rates, rising construction costs and increased uncertainty, particularly across the building industry, has likely smothered some land demand, the surge in land prices suggests that those that want to build are finding it difficult to secure lots.”
“With land often taking more than a decade to move though the development pipeline, it’s unlikely we’ll see any material change in land supply for some time.” says Ms Ezzy.
“Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth are seeing residential land values grow at a rapid rate, while Sydney and Melbourne’s values remain relatively stable,” stated HIA Senior Economist Matt King.
Plumbing and drainage inspections in the Huntlee and North Rothbury areas are moving from Cessnock City Council to Building Commission NSW.
The BASIX Transition period for eligible signed building contracts will end on 30 September 2024. BASIX Certificates must be generated by this date to apply the pre-1 October 2023 BASIX standards.
“As the number of new homes under construction continues to decline builders are reporting fewer difficulties scheduling skilled trades workers on their jobs, although availability of skilled workers remains worse than prior to the pandemic,” stated Geordan Murray, HIA Executive Director – Future Workforce.
