MB Primer: Why is Australian housing so expensive?

Advertisement

Please find above the final in this series of MB primer presentations, which are aimed at getting newer readers up to speed, as well as providing an easy-to-digest reference point on various topics.

Today’s presentation covers Australia’s housing market, specifically explaining why Australian housing is so expensive. Watch as the MB Fund’s Tim Fuller and yours truly discuss the six key factors behind Australia’s housing affordability crisis as well as the policy solutions required to ‘fix’ the problem.

I trust you will find this presentation interesting. In due course, we will create a landing page where all of MB’s primers can be accessed.
