HOUSING TRACKER — APRIL 2025: Already 67,500 Homes Behind

HOUSING TRACKER — APRIL 2025

We’re Already 67,500 Homes Behind

Australia needs to build 240,000 homes per year just to keep up with population growth.
Based on the latest data, we’re tracking only 172,500 completions for 2024–25.
That's a shortfall of 67,500 homes — and we’re just getting started.

The gap is growing
Prices keep rising
Renters and buyers are getting locked out

And the government's plan?
1.2 million homes over 5 years = 240,000 per year — but the numbers don’t add up.

Let’s Break It Down

• Target: 240,000 homes/year

• Completions so far: 172,500 (projected ABS/industry data)

• Shortfall to date: 67,500

• Cumulative failure from past years compounds the crisis
