The problem is that none of our levels of government actually want housing prices to fall. They’ll talk a big game about how they want people to be able to afford a home, but then turn around and reinforce to existing homeowners and property investors that they wouldn’t dare do anything to actually harm their investments.
This is it exactly. If they really wanted house prices to fall it's not difficult but that's never going to happen.
Just like removing negative gearing or limiting investment properties is never going to happen.
