EP 296 Why Building Approvals Aren't Fixing Supply

Brisbane’s housing shortage isn’t just about supply it’s about what’s actually making it to completion.

In this episode, we unpack the real issue behind the numbers, including:

• The widening gap between approvals, construction, and completed homes
• Why many approved projects never get built
• How rising construction costs and feasibility challenges are slowing supply
• What current demand and population growth mean for housing pressure in Brisbane
• How buyer behaviour is shifting in today’s market
• The flow-on effect this imbalance is having on property prices heading into 2026

If you’re planning to buy or invest in Brisbane, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening behind the headlines — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
