Home-ownership in Australia

Home-ownership is a key cultural icon in Australia.〔 Australians have traditionally aspired to the modest Great Australian Dream of "owning a detached house on a fenced block of land."〔Winter, Ian and Wendy Stone. (Social Polarisation and Housing Careers: Exploring the Interrelationship of Labour and Housing Markets in Australia ). Australian Institute of Family Studies. March 1998.〕〔 Home-ownership has been seen as creating a responsible citizenry; according to a former Premier of Victoria, "The home owner feels that he has a stake in the country, and that he has something worth working for, living for, fighting for."〔Kemeny, Jim. "The Ideology of Home Ownership." Urban Planning in Australia: Critical Readings, ed. J. Brian McLoughlin and Margo Huxley. Melbourne: Longman Cheshire Pty Limited, 1986. p256-7.〕
The Australian government has encouraged broad-scale home-ownership through tax incentives(although mortgage interest is not tax deductible as, for example, in the United States); as a result, 67%〔''Housing Occupancy and Costs, 2011-12'' Australian Bureau of Statistics. ()〕 of households own their own homes — one of the largest proportions of any nation.
In the past, home-ownership has been a sort of equalizing factor; in postwar Australia, immigrant Australians could often buy homes as quickly as native-born Australians.〔Davison, Graeme. "The Past & Future of the Australian Suburb." Australian Planner (Dec. 1994): 63-69.〕 Additionally, Australian suburbs have been more socio-economically mixed than those in America and to a lesser extent Britain. In Melbourne, for instance, one early observer noted that "a poor house stands side by side with a good house."〔

Home-ownership in modern Australia, however, is becoming more exclusive. The ratio of Australians' average income to the price of the average home was at an all-time low in the late 1990s.〔Badcock, Blair and Andrew Beer. Home Truths: Property Ownership and Housing Wealth in Australia. Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 2000, p128.〕 Young people are buying homes at the lowest rates ever, and changes in work patterns are reducing many households' ability to retain their homes.〔Badcock, Blair and Andrew Beer. Home Truths: Property Ownership and Housing Wealth in Australia. Melbourne: Melbourne University Press, 2000, p150-152.〕 Simultaneously, homes that are being constructed are increasing in size () and holding fewer people on average than in the past.〔Australian Bureau of Statistics. Australia Social Trends 1994: Housing – (Housing Stock: Housing the Population ). 18 Nov. 2002.〕 The fraction of houses with four or more bedrooms has increased from 15 percent in 1971 to greater than 30 percent in 2001.〔Australian Bureau of Statistics. Australia Social Trends: Housing – (). 22 Apr. 2004.〕
