Look, we spend a lot of time talking about the challenges of getting young Australian families into the property market.
But there's a growing sense that downsizing is an issue as well.
This is where people are older.
They perhaps don't want to have as much of a large house.
Perhaps the children have moved out for Australians at the other end of the generational spectrum.
We've discussed as well a lack of affordable options for downsizing and some of the data around that.
What do you see about this linked problem where essentially like it is a market problem where some people have more housing than potentially they want or need and others have less dwelling space or housing than they would like.
How are we going to get appropriate supply to fix this particular problem?
It's interesting that this might be one that in some ways the market sorts out.
I was at a property developers conference recently, and they're talking about where I am here in Victoria.
The only two things that they can make financially work on larger scale is purpose-built student accommodation, PABSA, and reasonably luxurious downsizer apartments.
Okay.
So two- and three-bedroom apartments, well-located, extremely high level of finishing, and in good spots in suburbs where the land is expensive.
These are the things they can make financially, whereas putting up buildings that have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, they can't make that work.
They can't sell them for enough for what the market will bear to make it profitable.
So there's an element that that might shift over time,
As the market works itself out, but without fixing stamp duty, which is a huge impost.
I did the calculator this morning.
If you're in Sydney, which is our most expensive, but not far off it anymore, property market, and you had a $2 million purchase, which sounds outrageous, but is barely above the median house price.
you would pay about $100,000 in stamp duty.
