Planning rules blamed for boosting property prices as much as 40%
The impact of tax concessions such as negative gearing and the capital gains discount on property prices is ‘tiny’ in comparison to laborious planning rules, a new report has found.
Research by the Centre for Independent Studies (CIS), released Thursday, estimates planning restrictions have added more than 40% to house prices in Sydney and Melbourne, and almost 30% in Brisbane.
By comparison, tax concessions like negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount have had a ‘trivial’ effect on house prices, boosting values by between 1% and 4%.
CIS chief economist and author of the report Peter Tulip, a former Reserve Bank official, said while these factors may contribute to house price growth, restrictive planning rules are by far the key driver.
“The fundamental cause is that planning restrictions limit supply, driving up prices and rent,” Mr Tulip said.
He said the argument that factors such as taxes – including negative gearing and capital gains discounts – as well as interest rates, immigration and location premiums is a bigger driver of house prices than zoning, is misunderstood.
“These other factors are not alternative explanations but complements,” he said.
“Moreover, the effect of these concessions on housing prices is tiny.”
A 1% increase in the housing stock is estimated to reduce rents and home prices by 2.5%, he said.
“The solution is for state and local governments to stop saying ‘no’ and start saying ‘yes’.
“As a society, we need to be more accepting of higher density. We need to put more weight on the interests of renters and future home buyers and less weight on the interests of nearby residents.” |
