A new report from The Nightly shows that unit prices across Australia have now reached levels beyond what average-income earners can afford, while investor activity has climbed to a decade-high. Median unit prices have risen so sharply that many first-home buyers can no longer borrow enough, even with a 20% deposit.

Amid rising prices, tight lending capacity, and severely limited apartment supply, modular housing stands out as the most practical and scalable solution:

• Factory-controlled manufacturing ensures stable and predictable pricing, protecting buyers and developers from volatile labour and material costs that affect traditional construction.
• Modular systems enable 50–70% faster build times, allowing homes to be delivered quickly in a market where supply shortages are critical.
• Flexible deployment means modular homes can be placed in metropolitan areas, growth corridors, and regional zones — instantly boosting the available housing stock where it’s needed most.
• Precision engineering and quality control at the factory ensure every home meets high durability, performance, and long-term reliability standards.

As units become increasingly unattainable and buyers seek alternatives, modular homes offer a fast, affordable, high-quality pathway to expanding Australia’s housing supply — exactly when the market needs it most.
