Ep. 157: Prices Up, Schemes Expand & Targets Missed

For The Property Investor

Australia’s property market just keeps surprising — with prices climbing, new buyer schemes expanding, and housing targets slipping further out of reach. 🏡📈

In this week’s episode of The Weekly Investor News Podcast, Nick Bendel and Owen Davis unpack the latest headlines shaping the housing landscape — from the 8th consecutive month of price growth to the federal government’s new push for first home buyers, and the ongoing struggle to meet ambitious housing construction goals.

💬 In this episode:

📊 Prices Keep Rising: Every capital city saw gains in September — what’s driving demand as listings drop to record lows?

🏠 Schemes Expand: The Home Guarantee Scheme gets a major boost — unlimited places, no income caps, and higher price limits. But will it make things better… or worse?

🏗️ Targets Missed: The government’s 1.2 million homes target is slipping fast — approvals are lagging, finance is tight, and red tape remains king.
