09.01.2022 Building cheap, buying expensive: Australia’s fundamental property headache Hannah Blackiston May 16, 2018 Sydney sits at number 19 on a list of the world’s most expensive construction markets, according to a recent report from consultancy firm Arcadis, with Melbourne following at 21 and Brisbane at 22. While this news might seem bleak at the outset, experts have quickly pointed out that median house prices in those three cities significantly outstrip prices in several of th...e cities that outrank them in terms of construction costs, highlighting other factors driving housing affordability concerns in Australia. Construction costs are far higher in major US cities like Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and San Francisco which tops the list while several European cities also outrank Australian capitals for building costs.

Jeddah Source: Arcadis, International Construction Costs Report 2018 The build price in Australia compares quite favourably with other parts of the world, but the problem, as we see it, is the cost of the land, and also at the tax end, Housing Industry Association senior economist Shane Garrett said. Research has shown that if you look at the Sydney market, at least 44 per cent of the cost of a new home is accounted for by taxation in one form or another. That includes stamp duties, both of the purchase of the land and the final purchase price of the house, also GST thrown in, and the impact of excessive delays in the planning system. The report is further proof that the artificial scarcity of land fostered by governments of all political persuasions is the chief culprit in Australia’s housing affordability crisis.UDIA executive director Kirk Coningham One key example is San Francisco, the most expensive city in the world for construction according to the report, where homes cost 70 per cent more to build than they do in Sydney, but have a similar median house price. Two tough property markets by the numbers Sydney San Francisco Cost to build $395,000 $671,500 Median home price $1,170,000 $1,200,000 Building costs as a percentage of house price 33% 56% Median income $91,500 $132,600 Price as a multiple of median income 12.9x 9.1x Demographia Unaffordability rank 2nd 6th Arcadis median cost of building index 70 119 Sydney 33% San Francisco 56% Building cost as a percentage of property price Source: Urban Development Institute of Australia
