HIA welcomes apprentice incentive
“Today’s announcement of a $10,000 incentive to boost the number of skilled workers in key housing trades is a welcomed response to the crippling labour shortages the residential building industry has been faced with for decades. HIA has long called for milestone apprentice incentives to grow the domestic workforce,” said HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin.
Land prices continue to dash the dream of home ownership (NSW)
“The median price of land in Sydney is now a whopping $710,000 as people continue to show greater interest in more affordable markets such as the Hunter and Illawarra,” Brad Armitage, HIA Executive Director NSW, said today.
Land price growth outpaces CPI and home building costs
“The median price of land sold nationally increased by 7.6 per cent compared to the previous year, much faster than the rise in the cost of other goods and services in the economy,” stated HIA Economist Maurice Tapang.
Slow start on signature housing target
“Australia commenced construction on just 43,250 new homes in the first quarter of the 2024/25 financial year,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
