Australia's new home sales climbed 11.1 percent month-over-month in October 2021, amid a lift in consumer confidence following an end of COVID-19 lockdowns in some states in the country, data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) showed. Sales rose the most in Victoria (29.1 percent), followed by Queensland (11.1 percent) and New South Wales (3.9 percent). By contrast, sales fell in both Southern Australia (-4 percent) and Western Australia (-2.8 percent). “Demand for new homes continues to exceed the capacity that the industry can deliver. This is evident in the volume of work approved but not yet commenced, which is at its highest level in over a decade," said HIA economist Angela Lillicrap. “The new home market is starting to find its new post-HomeBuilder equilibrium, following a rollercoaster of sales over the past 18 months with the adverse impact of lockdowns and then the HomeBuilder stimulus.” source: Housing Industry Association (HIA)
