As Australia's population ages, there's a growing need for homes that are safe, accessible, and comfortable for seniors. Investing in new builds designed with these considerations can provide suitable downsizing options, allowing older Australians to maintain independence while freeing up larger homes for younger families.
Australia is facing a significant housing crisis. Rapid population growth, urbanization, and supply chain challenges have led to a shortage of affordable homes. While the government has set ambitious targets, such as building 1.2 million new homes over five years, achieving this requires collective effort from policymakers, developers, and individual investors. Investing in new builds not only offers personal financial benefits but also contributes to alleviating the housing shortage, ensuring future generations have access to quality housing.
Young people can’t afford to buy near the communities they were raised in. Meanwhile, their parents—once the "lucky" homeowners—are now ageing in houses that are too large, too expensive to maintain, and too isolating to grow old in.
