National Housing Supply Overview
How Australia's housing supply has trended and the macro factors driving the crunch.
What Caused the Supply Crunch
The structural and policy drivers behind Australia's chronic housing undersupply.

Region Deep Dives
Detailed analysis of each undersupplied region's sales pressure, rental pressure, and price trends.
A closer look
Where supply was tightest in 2022
173 of 334
More than half of all SA3s, 173 of 334, had vacancy rates under 0.5%. The national average was 0.9%.
4.7
Brisbane Inner North and Camden in Sydney both scored 4.7 on our Supply Shortage Score.
2025
Based on official projections, the report expects new homes to fall behind household formation again from 2025 and stay behind for the rest of the decade.
Australia is facing a decade-long housing supply shortage. This report could have easily been a 50 regions report due to how undersupplied many sub-markets are at this point of time.
