There’s a building boom brewing, and if you’ve been thinking about starting your dream home, now is your moment to move. With interest rates tipped to drop, the market is set to heat up, and the race for custom builds will be on.
Here’s the thing—when demand spikes, so do delays, costs, and competition. But if you act today, you’ll lock in better timeframes, more predictable costs, and first-in-line access to building slots for 2025.
Let’s break it down.
Why Now is the Right Time to Build
The building industry moves in cycles, and we’re sitting in a sweet spot before the storm hits. Here’s why getting started now puts you ahead of the pack:
Better Timeframes for Pre-Construction
Building your dream home shouldn’t feel like a waiting game—but during booms, it often does. With a wave of new projects just around the corner, the pressure on builders will only increase.
Acting now means you’re avoiding the bottlenecks and locking in manageable timelines. It gives you the freedom to:
- Perfect your home design without cutting corners.
- Navigate permits and approvals without the stress of looming deadlines.
Wait too long, and you could find yourself stuck in a queue that stretches months—or even years.
Lock in today's stable costs
Here’s the reality: when demand skyrockets, so do prices. Labour, materials, and construction expenses are all set to climb once interest rates drop and buyers flood the market.
Right now, costs are relatively stable, giving you the chance to plan your budget with confidence. History shows us the risks of waiting. For example:
- After the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, builders who moved early secured lower prices before demand surged.
- The same happened in Australia during the post-2013 rate drops, where building costs rose sharply as competition grew.
By acting now, you avoid the risk of getting caught in a price spiral—and save yourself thousands in the process.
Secure your spot before the rush
Interest rate drops have a domino effect: more people become financially ready, demand spikes, and build slots fill up fast. If you’re planning for 2025 or 2026, those spots are already starting to disappear.
During the post-COVID building boom, lower rates led to a frenzy of activity, and those who hesitated ended up waiting far longer than they’d planned. Don’t let history repeat itself.
Customisation and Personalisation Opportunities
The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to make your home exactly the way you want it. From floor plans to finishes, customisation takes time—time that’s in short supply during a building boom. Starting now means you’ll avoid rushed decisions and get the personalised experience you deserve.
The cost of waiting
Every day you delay, the risks get bigger:
- Longer delays: As the boom hits, timelines will blow out, leaving you waiting years instead of months.
- Higher prices: More demand means higher costs for materials, labour, and services.
In short, waiting could cost you time, money, and the home-building experience you’ve been dreaming of.
Waiting could ultimately cost you more in terms of both time and money, and you may end up with a less-than-ideal experience.
