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.
In mid-June 2025, the NSW Premier released the Housing and Productivity Contribution (HPC) Works-in-Kind Guideline for public consultation.
Today the State Government announced proposed changes to the regulatory powers to investigate registered builders who may be unable to meet the financial requirements of registration. The announcement also included a long-awaited review of the Home Building Contracts Act 1991 (HBCA) and associated laws.
“Two cuts to the cash rate have seen the volume of detached house building approvals rise to be 3.2 per cent higher than the same month last year,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
“Building approvals data released today highlights the magnitude of the task ahead if we are to achieve the Government’s target of building 30,000 homes in the ACT over the next five years,” said Geordan Murray, acting HIA Executive Director ACT and Southern NSW.
