Summary:
- Australia is fast becoming a student housing hotspot for global investors who are being forced to look beyond traditional markets in the UK, the US and Canada.
- Researchers say Australia’s student housing market has reaped the rewards by accounting for 61 per cent of the Australia Pacific (APAC) region’s total student housing transaction volume in the first half of this year.
- JLL data points to a massive gap between supply and demand, with student visa arrivals 30 per cent above pre-pandemic levels, but purpose-built housing supply below 10 per cent. This, along with Australia’s globally recognised universities and stable international student policies, has seen an influx of global capital into the student housing market.
