from Hotspotting
For years, property investors have been blamed for Australia's housing affordability challenges. But what if the data tells a very different story? In this episode, Terry Ryder unpacks new research from Cotality that challenges one of the key assumptions behind the Federal Government's housing policy. Drawing on 16 years of data across around 3,000 Australian suburbs, the analysis shows that owner occupiers, not investors, have been the strongest force behind long term property price growth. Discover what these findings mean for housing affordability, property investment, rental supply and the future of Australia's housing market. If you want facts over political narratives, this episode delivers the evidence.
