Australia's Housing Crisis Started in Sydney

Australia's housing crisis didn’t happen overnight—and many argue it started in Sydney. In this video, I break down how Australia’s largest city became the epicentre of skyrocketing property prices, housing shortages, and affordability challenges, using insights from the ABS, CoreLogic, the RBA, and other trusted sources. For decades, Sydney's property market has set the tone for the rest of the country. As prices surged, demand outpaced supply, and housing became increasingly unaffordable, the effects began spreading across Australia. What was once seen as a Sydney problem has gradually become a national issue, affecting renters, first-home buyers, and families in nearly every major city. The reality is that Sydney’s housing market tells the story of how Australia arrived at its current affordability crisis. This video gives you a clear, honest breakdown of what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the future of housing across the country.
