The Rules of Investing

30-year property veteran: Australia has its head in the sand on housing


Listen Later

There's no supply in residential housing nor the majority of segments of the commercial real estate market. Sky-high construction costs are now too prohibitive. Bandaid solutions, like rent control, only backfire. And inconsistent state, federal and local policies are not helping either.

That's according to this week's guest on The Rules of Investing, Andrew Parsons, a founder and the chief investment officer of global listed real estate manager Resolution Capital.

While these factors continue to perpetuate Australia's housing problem, they are actually positive for long-term investors in real estate. 

In this episode of The Rules of Investing, Parsons dives into Australia's property problem, outlines what he believes to be the solution, and shares why listed property is in for a strong three to five years ahead of us. 

Note: This episode of the Rules of Investing was recorded on Wednesday 17 July 2024.
