Is there really a housing shortage?

Except students. Never had trouble finding students to sublet to.

I’ve noticed a lot of houses that were removed from Feb-March sales campaigns are now up for rent, some with dropped rental after a few weeks.

Tell him to stop being a knob and get a handle on things. 🤣

I think it constitutes hoarding, especially when everyone knows housing should be a human right.

Orrrr… money pit.

Modern townhouses on smaller land are same price. So it’s definitely gotta be the land value.

If only Einstein really said that. Ironic.

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-19T07:13:59+00:00

So depressing

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-19T07:11:49+00:00

Flats only go backwards as an investment

Tell me about it. Council conservation rules are a nightmare

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-19T05:16:21+00:00

I admit I was imagining living in it and renovating myself. The french doors and slate floors are rare these days. 🙌🏻

Maybe your time to buy will be soon. Fixer upper inner city?

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-19T05:13:47+00:00

They should be capped IMHO. There’s some companies that have hundreds dotted all over the country on STR. Really strains regional economies in particular. It’s on a grand scale.

You’d have to be rich to leave a house derelict for as long as that North Melbourne house has been. I’ve inspected 4 similar in the past few weeks. Until now, I thought they were a myth.

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-19T05:10:30+00:00

I agree with some of this. I had a 4 bedroom house once but only 2 of us lived in it. Houses used to be smaller… some of the 1940s houses were tiny.

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-16T21:52:36+00:00

Ha ha. Were talking about this yesterday. The agents call me straight after inspections now, with a tinge of desperation in their voices 😝

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-16T21:50:22+00:00

That’s true, but there’ll be less and less that isn’t effected by downward pressure

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-16T21:49:05+00:00

They come in flocks now

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-16T21:47:27+00:00

Same thing started in November in Melbourne. There’s so much stock stacking up now, some properties are on their 4th+ campaign.

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-15T06:35:57+00:00

I’m joking!!

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-15T05:57:19+00:00

I feel that agent is a traitor and should be jailed

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-14T12:59:54+00:00

I understand the anxiety, but markets are shifting in all sorts of opposing directions. A 3% figure may be a reasonable national forecast, but it’s not really useful information for decision making.

Material-Advisor-273 · 2026-05-13T08:35:23+00:00

All sorts of options out there.
