The NSW Government is expanding its $1 billion Pre-sale Finance Guarantee program to better support affordable housing and smaller residential developments, particularly in regional areas.
“Pre-sales represent a major hurdle for new housing developments, and without sufficient pre-sales, finance is harder to obtain, often delaying construction.
“The changes will provide the opportunity for developers of smaller projects and those in regional areas to get access to the finance they need to start building much faster,” added Mr Armitage.
“Key workers and young people are struggling to secure housing in regional areas, and local businesses are finding it harder to attract staff because people cannot find a place to live.
“We have already seen how effective the Pre-sale Finance Guarantee has been in accelerating the delivery of housing projects in NSW. This move builds on the other great initiatives from the NSW Government, including the planning system reforms and reflects its commitment to addressing housing supply shortages right across NSW,” concluded Mr Armitage.
“The Housing Industry Association welcomes today’s announcement by the NSW Government of the expansion of the Pre-sale Finance Guarantee” said Brad Armitage, Executive Director NSW.
“Residential land prices increased by 1.5 per cent in the final quarter of 2025 to be 9.4 per cent higher over the year, increasing almost three times faster than consumer prices over the same period,” stated HIA Senior Economist Tom Devitt.
This Values Statement sets out HIA's position in relation to the core beliefs and principles that should guide the residential construction industry, shaping how it operates, conducts business, and interacts with all stakeholders.
The 2026-27 ACT Budget includes comprehensive support for the Missing Middle Reforms which aim to deliver mid-density housing in existing suburbs, but there were missed opportunities to support supply of other forms of housing.
