A closer look
Where supply is tightest in FY24/25
4.7
Bayswater to Bassendean in Perth scored 4.7, the top Supply Shortage Score in this edition. 33 regions scored 4.3 or more.
+7.6%
For-sale listings rose 7.6% in a year but sales rose only 2.5%. Most of the extra listings were in Sydney and Melbourne.
+29%
Investor lending rose 29% in a year, which the report expects to ease the rental crisis over time.
The supply crunch has continued to be relieved in many sub-markets due to a shift in some market conditions.
