The major changes

[Master Builders Victoria @mbavic]

Last night, @mbavic CEO Rebecca Casson was a co-signatory with the @udiavic and the @PropCouncil_VIC on a letter to the @DanielAndrewsMP, calling for restrictions to be lifted on display homes, land sales offices, sales suites and other real estate services in metro Melbourne.

@DrCameronMurray @milkkreme_ Hi Cameron, if you read our report, we're proving 19-34% of the cost of a new resi lot or dwelling, is due to taxes, charges & levies. There's no dodgy interpretation. The purpose is simply to shine a light on this fact, so government can consider whether tax reform is required.

Some tradies are breathing a sigh of relief after tough Stage 4 restrictions threatening to cripple the construction industry were eased. @MaggieRaworth #9News

7News Melbourne spoke to a homebuyer about our research, The Hidden Cost of Housing, showing 19-34% of a new home price is government taxes & charges.

He was particularly surprised that the cost of gov charges is significantly higher than developer profit. #MakeHousingAffordable

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

It's getting harder for Victorians to break into the housing market and a new study has revealed one reason why. It's found home buyers are handing up to a third of their hard-earned money to the government in taxes and levies. https://t.co/5zYfOfohG3 @LouisaCheatley #7NEWS

[udiavic @udiavic]

Our new research, The Hidden Cost of Housing, highlights how much of a new home purchase price is attributable to Commonwealth, State and Local Government taxes, charges and levies. We need governments at each level to address this growing issue and #MakeHousingAffordable

Today we released 'The Hidden Cost of Housing' research, revealing that up to 34% of a Victorian homebuyer's purchase price is driven by government taxes and charges.

That's over one-third of a new home price! #MakeHousingAffordable

More than 44,000 young Australians are homeless every night.

16,000 of them are 12 years old and under.

It costs just $85 to feed a young person in a PIF House for a week.

“If the government gives buyers the confidence to purchase now, the buyer will win, the housing industry will win and Victoria will become the homeowners state,” said @danni_addison via @JMasanauskas @theheraldsun #homeownerstate https://t.co/wbwUVK3AbN

Today we launched our Roadmap to Recovery & it's all about making VIC the new 'Homeowner State'.

Let's jump on this rare opportunity to finally tip the scales in favour of the home buyer (especially first home buyers).

No doubt we need to shift from the debilitating up-front #StampDuty cost asked of home buyers. With home buyers’ purchasing power on the decline, it’s time for government to rethink this major revenue raising tax.

[10 News Melbourne @10NewsMelb]

Calls are growing for stamp duty to be slashed as Victoria's property market struggles. But the state government is keeping its plans to help kickstart the industry under wraps for now. | @SimoLove #springst
