Australia’s housing market just won’t sit still. Prices are climbing, listings are thin, and the race to buy is getting fierce. In this episode, we unpack the real story behind October’s numbers on why low supply is keeping pressure on prices, why we’re not building the homes we actually need, and what it means as we head into the final stretch of the year.
Economist Cameron Kusher, buyer’s advocate Cate Bakos, and mortgage expert Alya Manji join Sadhana Smiles to explore the national picture from the rise of lone households to shifting investor activity, the growing demand for smaller homes, and the changing balance of power between buyers and sellers.
It’s a candid, grounded look at what’s driving Australia’s “housing paradox” and what to expect as the market charges toward 2026.
