The Federal Government’s HomeBuilder program has driven a surge in new homes and boosted our state’s economic recovery from the coronavirus recession.
Hickinbotham Group managing director Michael Hickinbotham praised HomeBuilder for playing a vital role in SA’s economic recovery, saying it effectively saved us from experiencing the disastrous fiscal fallout seen in overseas markets.
“February and March last year, things were looking really grim,” Mr Hickinbotham said.
“There have been times where the industry has been booming on the back of a strong economy but I don’t think I’ve seen it ramp up as quickly.”
The Housing Industry Association this week released its latest State Outlook report, forecasting a record year of building activity in 2021. It says more than 2500 home building commencements are expected each quarter for the next year – the highest level since 2010.
Many of these will be in new suburbs and developments springing up around Adelaide. Here we take a look at 21 new developments, what they offer, and how much it costs to buy in.
