Are homes becoming less affordable?


In this episode, Tom Egan and Leigh dive deep into the ongoing land shortage crisis in Australia and how it’s impacting the property market – from buyers and builders to developers. With prices skyrocketing and homes becoming less affordable, it’s important to understand what’s really happening behind the scenes.


How is the land shortage affecting you as a first home buyer? In this conversation, Tom and Leigh break down the ripple effects of limited land supply and how it’s driving up prices, limiting options, and pushing many buyers out of the market.
