Positive Property Show with George Markoski | Money for Life Tips for Property Investors
The Biggest Lie About Australia's Housing Crisis
The official story on Australia's housing crisis is that approvals are recovering and the pipeline is filling. In this episode of the Positive Property Show, George Markoski and Adam Albrecht go through the actual numbers to show why that narrative is misleading and why the shortage is getting worse on every meaningful measure. Approvals are running 20% below the housing accord target. Completions are tracking 27% below. A record 243,900 homes are currently under construction while annual completion rates have barely changed since 2020. The pipeline is not flowing. It is clogging. Developers are paying 1% to 1.5% per month on project finance, trades are unavailable, and projects are not starting because previous ones are not finishing. Australia is adding 236,000 new residents a year and completing 174,000 homes. That gap does not close by itself. George also addresses the fear cycle building in the media and why long-term investors who stay in the market through periods of negative sentiment have consistently come out ahead of those who wait for clarity before acting. In this episode: A building approval is not a home. The gap between what is approved and what is completed has never been wider. Developer project finance at 1 to 1.5% per month is locking new projects out before they even start. Australia needs 236,000 new homes a year and is completing 174,000. That shortfall compounds every single year. George and Adam are both currently buying, and they explain why this moment in the cycle is when that decision makes the most sense.
