including those studying or working in Australia, were originally able to purchase their own homes, but the new regulations will restrict this right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Foreign-invested

consistent with a similar policy proposed in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

buying houses is extremely low, so the ban has limited impact<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the latest data from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO),<strong>Foreign investors purchased only 5,360 properties between July 2022 and June 2023, accounting for 1% of the 538,861 property transactions nationwide.<\/strong>.in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nearly half of the transactions were for newly built homes<\/strong>, these homes are not affected by the ban.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only one-third are existing homes<\/strong>, the scope actually affected by the ban is even smaller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market impact analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The proportion of restricted properties is too low.<strong>Bans cannot effectively change market supply and demand<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign investment in real estate is not the main factor driving up housing prices.<strong>Housing prices are unlikely to fall in the short term due to policies<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The key to the housing shortage in the market lies in insufficient supply, not excessive foreign purchases.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;The ban affects a very small number of markets and will have limited impact on overall housing supply or house prices,&quot; said Megan Lieu, an economist at REA Group. &quot;The government should focus on increasing housing supply rather than restricting a small number of buyers.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market experts believe that the main problem of Australia&#039;s current housing market is<strong>The number of new homes being built cannot keep up with population growth<\/strong>According to statistics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Between June 2023 and June 2024, the number of new homes built will exceed population growth demand.<strong>Less 28%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The housing shortage is more severe in Queensland (QLD) and Western Australia (WA)<\/strong>, supply lags far behind demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main reasons for the imbalance between housing supply and demand include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lengthy development and building approval processes<\/strong>: The permitting process for new housing is cumbersome, resulting in a development pace that cannot keep pace with market demand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited land supply<\/strong>: The developable land in large cities is limited, further compressing the growth space of the new housing market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rising construction costs<\/strong>: The speed of housing construction has been suppressed due to rising material prices and labor shortages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lieu pointed out: \u201cThe key to solving the housing shortage is<strong>Accelerate new housing construction, not restrict foreign investment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr

policy direction: Accelerate housing construction to ease market pressure<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to bans, the government should consider more proactive policies to address housing issues, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streamlining the development approval process to shorten housing construction timelines and avoid administrative delays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provide construction subsidies and land supply policies<\/strong>, encourage more private development and ensure stable development of the housing market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support infrastructure construction<\/strong>, improve the livability of emerging residential areas to encourage more people to move into the new housing market.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe government cannot solve the housing supply problem by restricting foreign investment alone,\u201d Lieu added. \u201cTo truly solve the housing shortage, the key is to<strong>Promote new housing supply and reduce administrative and cost barriers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting from April 1, 2025, the Australian government will implement a two-year ban on foreign home purchases, restricting foreign buyers from purchasing existing homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign investors account for only 1% of transactions in the market, and the ban has little impact on housing prices and supply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The fundamental cause of the housing shortage is the insufficient supply of new homes, not excessive foreign investment in homes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The government should focus
