With more than 13,000 homes completed from July to September 2025, NSW has recorded its highest housing completion numbers in five years.
NSW is also continuing to lead the nation with more than 75,000 homes under construction as new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows further momentum building in the state’s housing pipeline.
According to the latest ABS data, housing completions in NSW are trending up by 37 per cent in the September quarter compared to the June quarter.
Dwelling commencements are also up nine per cent year one year, hitting 12,887 for the September quarter, which is the highest they’ve been since June 2023.
All of these figures show that the State Government’s nation leading reforms and initiatives are starting to work together to build a better NSW.
NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Paul Scully, said, that these figures are an encouraging sign that all the work the government has been doing to turn the planning system around and unlock more homes right across NSW is showing results.
“These aren’t just numbers, they are real homes being delivered for the people of NSW. Each completion means a new key in a new door to help address the state’s housing challenges and give people the ability to choose the neighbourhoods they want to live in,” Scully said.
“We know there’s still more work to be done but more houses are being approved and more houses are being built and that’s welcome news.”
