Australia to Ban Foreign Buyers from Established Homes for Two Years
- Australia will impose a two-year ban on foreign purchases of existing homes, starting April 1, 2025, to improve housing supply, according to Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Housing Minister Clare O'Neil.
- The government aims to free up around 1,800 properties annually for local buyers as part of their broader housing agenda.
- Foreign investors currently account for about two percent of Australia's housing, making the impact of the ban debatable, noted by economists.
- Economists believe that the foreign ownership ban may not significantly impact housing affordability due to the low proportion of foreign ownership within the market.
