Australia's home building "recovery" is dominating headlines — but does it actually stack up?

In this episode, we unpack the latest building approvals data and explain why a single strong month does not signal a genuine turnaround in Australia's housing market. We explore the real gap between approvals, commencements and completions, why so many approved projects never get built, and how construction costs, labour shortages and government red tape are constraining housing supply in 2026.

If you care about housing affordability, property markets, real estate trends or policy reform, this episode delivers clear, independent analysis without the media spin.

We examine what actually drives Australian house prices, from chronic housing undersupply and population growth to infrastructure investment, and why interest rate speculation is so often used as a lazy explanation.

If you want a clearer, evidence based view of the Australian housing market in 2026 and beyond, and how to cut through misleading property headlines, this episode will give you the context the media leaves out.
