  1. The media is at it again. Headlines scream that landlords exiting the market will cause a rental crisis. But think for a second: if an investor sells a house, it doesn't vanish. It's sold to someone who will likely live in it. That means one less renter competing for a home.
    This isn't a crisis; it's a market correction towards more owner-occupiers. But that doesn't get clicks.

  6. Australia keeps propping up house prices with demand-boosting gimmicks, while affordability spirals out of reach. Meanwhile, NZ is showing what real reform looks like—letting the market cool and celebrating falling prices. Maybe it’s time we stopped fearing a crash and started valuing affordability.

  7. Australians pay the highest fees globally to sell their homes online, with realestate.com.au charging up to $4,000 for a single listing. Controlled by News Corp, these prices are now over 50 times higher than they were 15 years ago, sparking complaints from vendors and agents.

  8. Rather than pursuing a high-rise slum future, immigration should be limited to a level below the nation’s capacity to provide high-quality housing and infrastructure, and within the natural environment’s carrying capacity, particularly water. Lower, sustainable immigration, in line with the pre-2005 average, will encourage the building sector to focus on quality over quantity and help alleviate the housing shortfall. The high-rise apartment boom of the last decade was an unmitigated disaster that we are still paying for.

  13. Australian apartments are a financial trap. Policymakers, think tanks, the media, and the property lobby are pushing for Australians to live in high-rise apartments to accommodate an additional 13.5 million people in the country over the next 39 years.

  14. #Australia is facing a severe housing crisis, with home prices soaring as demand far exceeds supply. A Professor at Monash University and author of "Housing: The Great Australian Right," argues that the government must overhaul its policies, as the crisis has escalated into a human rights disaster. He adds that "housing anxiety" has transformed the "Great Australian Dream" into a "Great Australian Nightmare."

  15. ANZ's new 50-year mortgage proposal has been labelled a dangerous option that Australians should "avoid at all costs." Experts warn it could leave borrowers "shackled" with debt, potentially costing them hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run. #MortgageWarning #FinancialAdvice #ANZ #DebtAwareness #FinanceTips #AustralianHousing #AvoidDebt #Auspol #PonziScheme #BetterNotBigger #Ausproperty
