Australia's housing crisis is caused by property investors, right? Wrong! It's caused by a broken system that makes building new homes unfeasible.

Most fixes you hear about for the Australian housing market focus on punishing property investors or capping ownership. 

While these options sound "fair" on the surface, the truth is they create zero new homes.

The real bottleneck in Perth's housing supply is that the numbers don't stack up for anyone building.

In this episode of The Perth Property Insider Podcast, I'm sharing what a smarter approach to Perth property, and the wider Australian housing market, looks like.

Plus, I cover the three ways housing supply actually gets created and some of the policy mistakes pushing Perth property prices higher.

You'll also hear why construction productivity has stalled for decades, how cheaper finance could unlock thousands of new dwellings, and why everyday Perth homeowners could become the next wave of property investors if lending caught up.
