Yes.I think one of the first stories after the budget was some tripe about the rent to own thingy that they may be in negative equity.So f&^%king what! Just live in it and pay your bills and if it drops to zero or increases to a billion you have a roof over your head.

If it’s about a portfolio for spoilt rich kids - yes If it’s about a home, a forever home like mine, my parents place, my grandparents home, & called The Australian Dream - no…it’s Home.

That’s not our house. It’s the average for the suburb. But boomers think they were smart or worked hard. Fact is we were just your average couple. Blew ALL our money on travel then came home and bought a house 4 years later. Not possible now.

I don’t think all first home buyers buy the forever family home . Have lived in the same street since 1991 and are the oldest residents . The original houses were almost all 3x1’s . A lot moved on when they had kids , separated, changed jobs and continue to do so .

E Roll Amy after 10 years of absolutely nothing on housing from the Liberal Party Labor is trying. It is not perfect and to complete a change will take years. There are more in first homes in the last 2 yrs than the past 13yrs

All those youngsters keen to get on the investment bandwagon yes. First a small one, then bigger, then 2, then 3, then 8, then Poland!!! 1,000 years!!!!!! 😞

If you are investing in a house, just as with superannuation, you need to take a long-term view. First home owners aren't likely to sell because the capital asset declines. They want a home. Their biggest determinant is whether they can meet the mortgage, not if they get a quick profit.

Yes! Funny how hysterical everyone gets over housing. Shares have declined steeply a number of times over the past few decades. ASX: 1987 Black Monday -49%, 2008/9 GFC -54%, 2020 Coronavirus -39%, 2022 inflation/interest rate hikes -25%. Corrections happen eh? Sit tight until things improve.

Yes, apparently every home owner is on the property ladder trying to get to the next level. Weird...I always thought a house was a shelter and a refuge.

There is also the RWNJ belief that 1st home buyers will make it harder for renters to find somewhere to live. You can't make this shit up. Try & explain this to any of these drop kicks that 1st home buyers were formerly renters, so .... ummm 1 x first home buyer minus 1 x renter equals....ummmm?? 🤪

#auspol #housing The only way houses will become universally affordable if if they drop massively in value relative to the median wage. . Once upon a time the average house was worth 3 times the average annual wage and it took 20 years to buy it. . But along came greed and neo-con economics.
