HomeGround Real Estate was proud to be included in a recent interview on ABC Radio National, offering a fresh perspective on Australia’s ongoing housing affordability challenges.
As Melbourne and the nation grapples with a housing crisis, new research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) suggests an innovative approach that helps to make a significant difference — and it starts with small-scale landlords, often referred to as ‘mum and dad’ property investors.
In the interview, Dr Michael Fotheringham, Managing Director of AHURI, explores alternative strategies to address the housing shortage. One of the most promising solutions? Empowering small property owners to play a role in creating more affordable housing options, including through social enterprises like HomeGround Real Estate.
Journalist Jacinta Parsons interviewed Thomas, one of our wonderful HomeGround Real Estate property owner clients. His perspective (starting at the 10min mark) highlights the potential of ethical, community-minded landlords in helping to solve this complex challenge here in Melbourne, and nationally.
The research indicates small-scale landlords have a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on housing accessibility, offering hope in a market that has long struggled with affordability and supply issues.
