Australia's housing crisis isn't just about prices — it's about supply, infrastructure, construction costs, and policy failures that keep stacking up.
In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with Armando Errichiello to unpack what's really driving the crisis, from the government's 1.2 million homes target falling behind, to builders going broke, approval red tape killing developments, and rents still climbing across the country. They share what they're seeing on the ground and why the easy fixes politicians promise simply don't exist.
They also tackle immigration honestly, break down how construction costs have doubled since COVID, and explore why vertical living may need to become part of the Australian mindset going forward.
The episode finishes with Deal or No Deal, where three real properties are analysed — a six-bedroom home with rooming potential, a dual-income block with a granny flat, and a split-level in Blacktown with subdivision upside.
If you've ever wondered:
Why aren't enough homes being built in Australia?
Is immigration actually driving the housing crisis?
How do rising construction costs affect your investment strategy?
What makes a property a genuine deal right now?
This episode gives you the unfiltered, street-level view.
