With the growing number of people who have sought to buy a new dwelling in NSW, the recent policy initiatives to improve housing supply, and continued population growth are all expected to result in a solid pick-up in housing investment over the medium term. In particular, a number of private sector economists are forecasting housing investment as a share of GDP to return to its long-run average level over the next 5 years. This is positive news for the NSW residential housing market and owner builders.
