New apartment completions will pick up to a five-year high this year as Australia’s big four banks ease terms such as presales requirements and lend more to developers, letting them finish projects sitting on the market, new Charter Keck Cramer figures show.
Build-to-sell apartment completions will pick up to 23,828 this year, a jump from last year’s 19,316 and the most since 2021, according to the consultancy’s H2 2025 State of the Market report, which predicts a similarly strong 23,610 apartment completions next year.
