Getting Real 2.0

Getting real about australia’s housing crisis

Every Australian dreams – and has a right to – a secure home. It is a cornerstone of our nation’s prosperity.

For many, this aspiration has become hindered by our nation’s deepening housing crises.

Our Real Estate Institutes have joined forces to release our second strategic policy agenda: Getting Real About Australia’s Housing Crisis.

Australia has severe housing shortage and affordability crunch.

Vacancy rates remain at 3% and under in most capital cities and across the country home loans are as expensive as they were in the Global Financial Crisis.

A changing world​

The housing crisis has been described as abysmal, as a handbrake to Australia’s economy and a catastrophic failure of government foresight. It is all these things and more.

Getting Real 2.0 focuses on five priority policy areas across the housing spectrum as we navigate through post-pandemic global conditions.

It focusses on the issues that matter this affects all Australians: Renters, first home buyers, homeowners and Australians who own and supply rental properties.

What Getting Real means for agencies

GETTING REAL 2.0 POLICIES WERE TRIAGED TO:

Drive real estate listings over the short and long term

Defend against draconian regulation and compliance

Support confidence and trust in real estate agents and markets

Attack immediate reputational or economic threats

Plan for big picture strategic issues to secure agencies a profitable future

Getting Real aims to ensure real estate agencies are at the heart of national decision making, so real estate agents can focus on what they do best: help Australian’s into homes.
