Australia's new home sales jumped 91.8 percent month-over-month to 13527 units in December of 2020, after a 15.2 percent gain a month earlier, data from Housing Industry Association showed. This was the second strongest pace of growth in the 20 years of the survey, attributed to the HomeBuilder program, with households finalizing contracts to build a new home before the deadline on December 31st to access the $25,000 grant. Also, low-interest rates, house price growth, and a change in consumer preferences away from apartment-style living have all seen demand for detached housing rise. The monthly increase in sales has been broad-based across the states, boosted by a record rise in South Australia where sales tripled from November. For full 2020, new home sales soared 32.5 percent.

Australia's new home sales jumped 15.2 percent month-over-month in November 2020, setting a new decade high and after a 1.3 percent fall a month earlier, data from Housing Industry Association showed.

Also, low interest rates, house price growth, and a change in consumer preferences away from apartment style living have all seen demand for detached housing rise. Many households have diverted their expenditure from travel and entertainment towards housing, including renovating their home.
