Investor-active

21% of approvals are dual-occupancy, subdivision or granny flats, above the 13% coast norm, so a real share of the work is yield-driven, developers and landlords, not just homeowners.

Rebuild market

48% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $435k approval is about 65% of the $670k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
