Have we run out of homes?
Last week, we released the 2026 McGrath Report, which reveals three property important trends as well as my top suburb picks for the new year in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and Tasmania.
There are plenty of other reasons to read the report, namely its overarching theme, ‘Have we run out of homes?’ Here I examine the complexities of Australia’s housing crisis, including severe labour shortages and construction costs, and the issues that are of key concern.
Firstly, reflecting on a fundamental contradiction, over half of our vast country’s population is squeezed into Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. This has resulted in massive price pressure and property density in these locations. As a result, only 22% of Australians are satisfied with the availability of good and affordable housing. This figure drops to only 16% for Australian aged under 34.
The numbers paint a picture that should concern us all. New borrowers are spending 50% of their household income on mortgage repayments. And, this home price-to-income ratio has already climbed eight times. Meanwhile, potential buyers need to save for over a decade for a 20% deposit and renters are dedicating 33% of their household income to rent.
After decades in this industry, I’ve learned that the housing market has three key pillars – supply, affordability, and construction viability. Right now all three pillars are compromised. While this is of course, a major problem, even more worrying is the fact that Australia’s housing dilemma isn’t due to land scarcity. It is accessibility that is the real issue.
What do I mean by this? Our major cities and other locations across Australia have plenty of land which is ideal for developments. But this land is not connected to essential infrastructure. However the property
development industry has some major challenges – these include a doubling or even tripling in significant labour skills, while construction costs have risen 30%. As a result, many developments simply can’t be built profitable at current market prices.
So, what’s the answer? Examining and exploring these issues in full, I believe the main reason for Australia’s housing contradiction is accessibility – and not land scarcity. And, for real change to occur in our property market, we need to focus on supply bottlenecks. We need to free up people’s options of where they can live.
Part of this change means we need to streamline development processes, reduce approval time frames, and provide better infrastructure in locations with ample land. This change is finally happening in some areas, with rising development activity around transport hubs underway, which should in turn eventually ease some property pressure.
Government -owned land with existing infrastructure should also be prioritised for development. Skilled migration and training could help address labour shortages while supporting innovative construction methods that reduce costs.
Despite these issues, I believe that Australia’s property market does have several reasons to celebrate. Firstly, housing demand is moderating and expected to stabilise at about 175,000 households annually from 2026. Construction cost growth is slowing down too and State governments are beginning some planning reforms, with the aim of expanding supply options.
Helping the market further are the three property trends analysed in this year’s McGrath Report. This includes the significant changes that cashed-up Generation X has on today’s property choices. We also explore in the trend, Lifestyle Locations: Walkable, Liveable, Loveable, the appeal of neighbourhood living, whether it be in city or regional areas that boast a city lifestyle with rural tranquility. In the third trend Weathering The Future, renowned architect Adam Haddow, illustrates how design and sustainability impacts more efficient home design.
Australia has the land, demand, and capability. I hope the insights we offer in this year’s McGrath Report encourage and highlight some of the changes needed. If you’re interested in finding out about any of these trends or examine the suburbs I feel are poised for growth.

What to look for when buying a house or apartment and questions to ask.
As John McGrath says ‘home hunting is not a spectator sport. If you’re committed to finding a great home at the right price, you have to get into the marketplace, you have to go to open home inspections.’
When you start out looking at properties, you’re just getting a feel for the property and seeing if you could feel at home there. You’ll do you more thorough inspections and due diligence with experts down the track when you’re really serious about a property. Right now, you want to assess whether the property will fit your lifestyle, does it match your wish list, (with perhaps a few compromises). Do you have a good feeling about the property, and could you imagine living in it?
Does the layout and flow work for you? A good layout creates easy living, convenience and privacy. How are the living rooms located in relation to the bedrooms, and where are the bathrooms in relation to the bedrooms?
Is there enough space for you, your family and your ‘things’? Is there enough storage, potential to extend, reconfigure? What is the condition of the interior? Do you need to renovate, what is the quality of the kitchen and bathroom?
What is the light like? What is the aspect and how close is it to local amenities? These initial inspections are all about viewing as many properties as possible, talking to real estate agents and narrowing down you list of properties to a short list.
Questions to ask when buying a house or apartment
While at the open homes, make sure you ask the real estate agent lots of questions about the property. Knowledge is power and building a clearer perspective of the property can help you determine if it is right for you or not.
Here are some key questions to ask the real estate agent:
Can you please share with me a list of comparable sales over the last 3 months?
This will give you an idea of how much the property could be worth. Understanding what similar properties are selling for in the immediate area and why the agent believes the property is worth a particular price can help guide your price expectations.
Why is the vendor selling the property?
By understanding why the home owner is selling can help you negotiate the sale. For instance, if they are looking to buy another property, perhaps you could negotiate a longer settlement. If they have already bought, they may be keen to sell quickly and therefore open to early offers.
Are there any known issues with the property, land or neighbours that they are aware of?
While you will most likely uncover any major issues during your due diligence phase, asking the agent is worthwhile too.
Have they received any offers and if so, how much? This can help you understand vendor price expectations. Are the vendors willing to negotiate the price or receive pre-auction offers?
Are they aware of any planned zoning changes?
Are there any restrictions on the property?
How much are the council rates?
