Who benefits from rising land prices?

It seems to me the main parties are:

1.  The state government - higher house prices means more land tax

2.  Banks - they get twice as much in interest payments on a $300,000 mortgage as a $150,000 mortgage

3.  The wealthy (ie those who have multiple properties) - by restricting young families from building new homes on new land (which is unavailable) they are forces to buy existing homes or buy a subdivision.
