There are more homes under construction in South Australia right now than there ever has been before, as the State Government continues to drive policies to increase housing supply in the state.

The total number of dwellings under construction at the end of September 2025 was 14,916, an increase of almost 800 homes compared with June and an increase of 1,000 homes year-on-year, according to data released this week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The record represents a 5.4% boost from three months earlier and a 7.2% increase year-on-year, surpassing the national average (4.2% increase year-on-year)

In the year ending in September 2025, 12,756 homes were completed in South Australia, eclipsing the number of homes completed in the previous year to September 2024 (11,841).

Homes commenced have also surged to 3,718 in the September quarter, up 14% in South Australia, to be 27% higher than a year earlier.

The ABS Building Activity data complements the ABS Building Approvals data released earlier this month, showing a surge in housing supply with home approvals increasing by 15.4% year-on-year in seasonally adjusted terms.

South Australia’s housing momentum is a direct result of the State Government’s investments and policies aimed to supercharge housing supply and build more homes for South Australians.
