American here.

From what I understand there is a law in Australians that prohibits foreigners from buying homes. They have to build new ones instead.

Correct me if I’m wrong. How do you guys feel about it?

Genuinely curious, I don’t have a dog in the fight.

It’s pretty insignificant in the broader context of the housing crisis.

House prices here are largely driven by domestic not foreign investment in property, incentivised by tax policy which favours housing as an asset class. (Exceptions and reductions to capital gains tax & negative gearing).

I dont think that’s entirely true but there extra costs for foreigners and restrictions to either buy newly built or vacant residential (I could be wrong)

Imo the system for residential ownership incentivises immigration (no cap gains tax on sale of primary residence) I think its a good system for citizens/ PRs

lol funny seeing you here. Why the interest in Australia? (I’m from Sydney!)
