August 10th,2021

As the latest Census looms, Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) is forecasting a rise in home ownership stimulated by government grants, historically low interest rates and the rise of single women owning homes.

REIA President, Adrian Kelly said home ownership was at its highest at 73% in 1966, its lowest in 1947 at 53% and sat at 67% at the last recorded Census in 2016.
