Young Australians are fine with renting, but the nation needs to weigh up alternative housing models

Property industry leaders say more diverse dwellings need to be built and new policy settings introduced in response to elevated property prices that are making it harder for Australia’s youth to get into the housing market.

The cost of buying a property increased by 70 percent in some capital cities since the pandemic, pushing many first-home buyers out of the market, while at the same time, interest rates rose from record lows to a 12-year high, and building approvals fell to the lowest level in a decade.

According to realcommercial.com.au, the average first-home buyer is now aged 37 in Sydney, and 36 in Melbourne, as it takes about a decade to save up enough money for a deposit without the help of parents or grandparents.

Industry leaders told the Property Council of Australia’s Property Congress in Townsville that much of Australia’s housing stock was outdated and no longer fit for housing a population that was renting for longer.
