Exclusive report on property ownership among men and women

Overview

As Australians engage in conversations around equity in property ownership, CoreLogic has commissioned new research into property ownership across Australian men and women.

This year’s report will offer an update to the insights we uncovered in last year’s report, providing a deeper look at key metrics such as home ownership rates among Australian women and men, as well as differences in motivations, attitudes and barriers to getting on the property ladder.

Don’t miss the fifth annual edition of the report to understand the state of home ownership for men and women across the country – and how the equity gap in property comes into play.
