  6. Aussie suburbs bucking the property trend—some areas see price drops up to $167K in the last five years.
    However, the article overlooks Victoria's proactive approach to housing supply. Since 2018, the state has implemented the Vacant Residential Land Tax (VRLT), targeting owners of vacant properties. From January 1, 2025, the VRLT expands statewide, aiming to encourage property owners to lease or sell unoccupied homes, thereby increasing housing availability.
    Additionally, the Victorian Government has introduced a 7.5% levy on short-term accommodation platforms like Airbnb, effective from January 1, 2025. This measure aims to prioritise housing and long-term rentals, raising funds to support social and affordable housing initiatives.
    These policies are part of a broader strategy to address housing affordability and availability in Victoria.

  11. #EmptyHomes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the #HousingShortage?

    by Gerry Georgieva, 8/19/2025

    Excerpt: "Not all empty homes are in the dire state of repair that Corina's once was. But roughly 265,000 of them in England have been vacant for longer than six months and are classified by the government as long-term empty (#LTE). (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different housing policies, as housing is a devolved matter in the #UK.)

    "Fixing these would also have a significant effect on the communities around them, as long-term empty properties can attract anti-social behaviour and in some cases reduce an area's value."

    Thank you for sharing this insightful approach from the Netherlands. It's impressive to see such proactive measures in addressing housing issues. Unfortunately, in Australia, we're not yet ready to adopt similar policies. There's a significant amount of reluctance and greed that hinders progress. It's a stark contrast to the egalitarian steps taken by other societies. Let's hope for a change in mindset here soon.
