Proud to Support Australia’s Prefab Future 🏠✨ Last night on Channel 9 News, a powerful special spotlighted the rise of prefabricated housing — and how this cutting-edge industry is helping tackle Australia’s housing shortage. It was inspiring to see Modscape + Modbotics and Oly Homes featured, showcasing their innovative modular manufacturing and spotlighting their ability to deliver high-quality homes faster and more sustainably. At CommBank, we’re proud to be playing a part in this transformation through our new Assessed Manufacturers policy. That means: • Customers building with a CommBank‑assessed manufacturer like Modscape or Oly Homes can now access up to 80 per cent of the contract value (or 150% of land equity — whichever is lower) in progress payments before the modular home is sat on the land . • For those working with non-assessed manufacturers, the support still covers up to 60 per cent of contract value or 120% of land equity. This isn’t just about finance — it’s about unlocking a powerful tool to help more Australians build faster. Modular manufacturing cuts traditional build times from 18 months to 10–12 weeks, cuts waste, and delivers consistency in quality—just what our national housing ambitions require. It was fantastic to see Modscape’s work featured — from their Victorian factory to major projects like the Cairns social housing rollout — and Oly Homes’ expansion plans, supercharged through CommBank-backed capital for a 21,900 m² factory on the Sunshine Coast to boost output from 200 to 550 homes per year. Together, we’re supporting modern construction methods that are shaping Australia’s housing future. Let’s build homes quicker, smarter, and for more people. #prefabhousing #modularconstruction #housingaffordability #CommBank #Modscape #OlyHomes #housinginnovation Andrey S.

What makes Australian real estate so globally appealing?   Strong population growth, which is driving solid, long-term demand across office, logistics, retail, and housing. Then there’s the infrastructure investment that's supporting the backbone of development. This includes $100 billion per year that's been spent or allocated to city shaping infrastructure.   But we can’t afford to be complacent amid increasing global competition for capital.   That’s one of the topics up for discussion on my latest CBRE Asia Pacific The House View podcast with our Head of Research Sameer Chopra.   We cover a lot of ground on the what’s shaping the Australian property market, from the adoption of AI to the shifts occurring in the debt and equity markets, as well as the latest workspace ad occupier trends.   As always, Sameer also shares his thoughts on whether we’ll see future interest rate cuts.    Tune in and let me know your thoughts: https://l.cohst.app/K5J9g6

Adelaide Property Market Brief – September 2025 The Adelaide housing market has seen a clear lift in activity over the past month: Buyer Demand: A noticeable increase in new buyers entering the market, with strong enquiry levels across the board. Auction Registrations: Average bidder registrations have risen to 6+ per auction, compared to just 2–3 earlier in winter. Clearance Rates: Auctions are translating to sales, with the majority of properties selling under the hammer or immediately after. ~85% up from ~70%. Listings Environment: Despite the demand, supply remains constrained. New listings are tracking 15–20% lower year-on-year, creating a tight stock environment. Seasonal Factors: Adelaide has come out of an unusually tough winter for colds and flus, which had dampened activity. With spring weather and improved health conditions, attendance and momentum have bounced back. Interest Rates: Lower rates are providing buyers with confidence and capacity, adding fuel to competition. Summary: Adelaide is entering the spring market with stronger buyer depth, rising auction participation, and limited stock. The result is a highly competitive environment, with strong clearance and upward pressure on prices likely to continue. #oc #letsmakeithappen #adelaiderealestate
