THE PROPERTY NERDS: Exploring Australia’s most undersupplied housing markets
Description
In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal from InvestorKit and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial discuss recent research into the most undersupplied housing markets in Australia, and what this might mean for investors.
They begin the podcast reflecting on the success of their businesses throughout 2024, following the launch of Fouracre Financial and the ongoing success of Investigate Buyers Agency which has been recognised as Australia’s Buyers Agency of the Year for two consecutive years.
They then discuss a research paper that examines Australia’s most undersupplied housing markets, identifying 25 regions with significant supply shortages.
The podcast delves into the methodology behind the Supply Shortage Score (SSS), a metric developed to assess housing supply conditions. This score considers various factors, including future supply, established supply, price pressure, rental pressure, housing availability, and people movement.
The pair then wrap up looking at some of the challenges facing housing affordability, from transaction costs such as stamp duty and capital gains tax, through to problems facing the building sector, including construction costs and labour shortages.
