National Housing Data

A clear view of local housing supply, demand and affordability

We provide a detailed, location-specific view of Australia’s housing stock, supply pipeline, dwelling types and affordability trends. We curate and combine housing data from diverse, trusted sources, including ABS building approvals and Census, to show how housing demand and supply in an area are changing, and what that means for affordability.
