据毕马威(KPMG)根据澳大利亚统计局(Australian Bureau of Statistics,澳大利亚统计局)数据所做的分析,截至8月的过去一年,吉朗的住宅建筑审批量增长了34%,接近2022年新冠疫情繁荣期的水平。目前待建项目约有4000套新住宅。毕马威城市经济学家Terry Rawnsley表示,这一增长显示出人们对该城市长期发展的信心日益增强,但他强调,已获批的项目现在必须推进至施工阶段。Lara已超过Armstrong Creek,成为该地区审批量最高的区域,建设活动正向北转移。
房地产行业团体呼吁新南威尔士州为养老社区提供投资激励措施。他们表示,此举将有助于缓解住房短缺。养老社区的候补名单人数约为2.7万人。Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW(澳大利亚城市发展协会新南威尔士分会)首席执行官Stuart Ayres表示,老年人住房可在不扩大城市范围的情况下增加供应。Retirement Living Council(退休生活委员会)执行董事Daniel Gannon表示,审批流程缓慢正在拖延新项目的建设。
堪培拉新通过的法律旨在加快“中间型住房”的规划和租约审批流程。规划部长Chris Steel表示,这些变化将使联排住宅、双拼住宅、排屋和次要住宅的审批更快。单户住宅的租约不再需要为建造附属小屋(granny flat)而进行王室租约变更。小幅租约变更将通过简化程序办理,无需提交开发申请。澳大利亚房地产委员会Property Council of Australia(房地产行业协会)对这些改革表示欢迎,但表示可行性和投资方面的挑战依然存在。
据PRD数据显示,布里斯班和黄金海岸有逾1万套公寓被推迟建设或无限期搁置,项目估值约54亿澳元。建筑成本上涨和建筑工人短缺被列为开发商面临的主要压力。PRD首席经济学家Diaswati Mardiasmo表示,供应短缺可能会使公寓价格持续高企。Property Council of Australia(澳大利亚房地产理事会)昆士兰州执行董事Jess Caire表示,仅批准住房项目并不能建成住房。Charter Keck Kramer(查特·凯克·克莱默)预测,从2027至2028财政年度起,劳动力和建材短缺将进一步加剧。
Asking rents for houses in regional New South Wales have risen over the past year, led by smaller towns, according to Domain data. The median weekly rent reached $640 in the September quarter, up 4.9 per cent. Berrigan recorded the steepest rise at 18.5 per cent, followed by Bellingen at 18.2 per cent. Experts say tenants priced out of nearby areas are moving further afield, while new workers and limited housing supply add pressure. Local agents report strong demand and few available rentals.
Changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax will reshape property investment, with the biggest effects felt beyond landlords. From 1 July 2027, negative gearing for residential property will apply only to eligible new builds. Investors buying established properties after the 2026 Budget announcement will not be able to offset losses against other income, though existing investments are protected. Writers argue the reforms could channel more capital into new housing, which would benefit local businesses in western Sydney, but only if planning and infrastructure keep pace.
