Is housing affordability really about interest rates… or is it something much bigger?

In this week’s episode of The Weekly Investor News, we break down the real issue driving Australia’s property crisis — the land supply bottleneck.

Over the past 25 years, land prices have skyrocketed, massively outpacing construction costs. So what’s really pushing prices higher?

We unpack:

Why land prices have surged over 500%

The impact of government red tape and infrastructure delays

Why “shovel-ready” land is the key to affordability

How supply constraints are affecting investors right now

Whether regional growth could help ease pressure

We also cover:

✔️ The surprising strength of Australia’s economy

✔️ Why consumer confidence feels weak despite strong data

✔️ The growing shift of young Australians moving to regional areas

If you’re a property investor trying to position yourself for 2026 and beyond, this episode connects the dots between policy, supply, and long-term capital growth.
