Housing policy bonanza: will it actually help young people?

The Briefing

In this election, it finally feels like young first home buyers are front and centre with both major parties trying to woo voters with some bold new ideas they’re promising will go some way to easing the affordability crisis. From the Coalition’s superannuation scheme to Labor’s shared equity arrangement - these are policy areas where both sides are actually differing in a major way.

Eliza Owen, CoreLogic's head of Residential Research explains how these schemes work, what would they mean for the market - and do any of them actually move the needle forward if you’re looking to buy your first home.

Will this year's election policies, compared to other recent campaigns, finally provide young people with help in buying their first home?
