House building approvals rise 12% There’s been a welcome increase in the number of house building approvals, although it’s still not enough to keep pace with the demands of our fast-growing population. A total of 9,163 private sector house approvals were issued in May, which was 2.1% higher than the month before and 12.0% higher than the year before, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Unfortunately, though, as the graph shows, house approvals are still well below the record 14,063 that were issued in March 2021. Also, they’re below the average monthly result (9,311) from the past 15 years. Unless an increasing number of houses get approved for building – and then actually get constructed – housing supply will continue to fall short of demand. That, in turn, will put upward pressure on prices and rents. #property #realestate #homeloans  House building approvals rise 12% There’s been a welcome increase in the number of house building approvals, although it’s still not enough to keep pace with the demands of our fast-growing population.
