Ahead of the 2025 federal election, significant housing policies have been announced — and Melbourne stands to benefit greatly.
Labor’s $21 billion housing package, aimed at building 1.2 million new homes over five years, will directly boost Melbourne’s new housing stock. With Melbourne’s growing population, especially in growth corridors such as the western and northern suburbs, the injection of affordable and accessible housing is vital.
The shared equity Help to Buy Scheme is also expected to unlock more pathways for Melbournians to step onto the property ladder, allowing eligible buyers to purchase with as little as a 2% deposit.
Meanwhile, local Victorian initiatives such as the ‘Big Housing Build’ are continuing to transform Melbourne’s suburban landscape, providing a mix of private and affordable housing options.
For property investors, this translates to greater tenant demand, while first-home buyers will find more accessible pathways into desirable Melbourne suburbs.
The momentum building around Melbourne’s property market in 2025 signals a fantastic time to buy smart — particularly before prices climb further.
For One Point Wealth clients, this is the ideal time to put a smart strategy in place. With expert guidance, you can stop relying solely on wages and start building wealth that lasts.
