    By Alan Kohler

  11. The ACT's 99-year leases are expiring — what does that mean for home owners?
    By Niki Burnside

    The ACT is the only jurisdiction in Australia that operates under a leasehold system, meaning every home owner is actually a lessor. With the first of those leases coming up for renewal, there are questions about the leasing system's origin and ongoing relevance.

  28. We analysed 'affordable' rental listings. Many were affordable in name only
    By Pat McGrath, Madi Chwasta, Kate Ashton, and Kirsten Robb

    Governments across Australia are spending billions to boost the number of rentals available to people on low and middle incomes. A Four Corners investigation found many of these homes were unaffordable for those who needed them most, particularly single-income households.

  29. Melbourne: A rare house price oasis in Australia’s overheated property market.

    While most capitals are pricing out first home buyers, Melbourne is quietly becoming more accessible — thanks in large part to Victoria’s investor-targeted tax regime.

    No praise, of course, is given to the state government for:
    • The Vacant Residential Land Tax (discouraging empty homes)
    • Higher land tax rates on investment properties
    • The windfall gains tax on rezoned land

    These measures have cooled investor demand and helped keep prices within reach of everyday buyers. Other states take note.
