Sadly, young couples who borrow $700-800k to buy their first home; are more likely to be separated/divorced before they even get close to paying off the mortgage. That is the reality of obtaining a mountain of debt. Two income stretched to make minimum repayments to the bank for the next 30 years. You can forget about having one happy family with 2-4 children.

@Quality Journalism Plus I just hope for the young men out there to think and plan very carefully about their future in regards to marriage/family and the sky high mortgage. The cost of servicing a sky high mortgage is one thing, but given that divorce rate is about 50%, what is the REAL cost of a divorce? With current Family/de facto Laws so heavily bias against men, the bloke is set to lose virtually everything he put towards that house! He then has to rent whilst paying child(s) support for children whom he hardly gets to see! Ridiculously high debt and modern feminism is the last thing a decent bloke needs to get himself involved with. I do wish everyone well though, good luck!

The immigration intake is at least 10 times what a responsible amount would be to maintain quality of life in this country. Good luck building enough housing for 300,000 people every year, or enough hospitals, schools roads etc. And then do it all again next year and the year after that!

There have been times in history where society was divided into classes. The have and have-nots. The land owners and the peasants. Is this the beginning of a greater division in society? Without a trigger (such as greater unemployment), and with continuing government intervention (often pretending to improve affordability), and with the sky-high immigration numbers, and the lowest rates in history, we won't see a fall in price any time soon.

Listen to that at 6:21 , It takes a couple 11 years to save a 20% deposit on a house in Newport (which is about the national average price at the moment). So what that means is it takes about 55 years for a couple to pay it off, or it would take a single person 110 years to pay it off - Read that again folks..

Mortgage = death pledge if you can buy a house outright great but to get yourself into a 700k plus mortgage is indeed insanity in my opinion. Gone are the days a single income family could buy a house unless you are earning 150k plus a year.

You CANT have a decade long boom THEN another boom after a 2 year break.

What do you think happens to jobs and houses and stocks then? Goodluck for those that never think ahead...

The truth is that so many houses have been lost to the bushfire that increased house prices due to the new level of demand are to be expected. Something which is different now though is many people buying now have multiple houses

Dogs and kid in the backyard....shows a postage stamp....so glad to not live in a city.

While Interest Rates remain low, housing prices will keep rising so the Reserve Bank must raise the Interest Rates to stop the rising prices. Investors are buying up the properties and first home buyers are losing badly in the Property buying race. Those that have bought at low interest rates will more than likely lose their homes when the interest rates rise.

For the couple looking to buy in Newport Queensland, 3 km to the west is Deception Bay and about 4km to the south east is a suburb called Kallangur. Both these suburbs medium price level is almost half of Newport. It's all about realistic expectations!

The market may dip a bit here and there but it won’t crash. People will always need a roof over their heads & want a place they can call home. As long as there’s migrants & foreigners coming in settling down in Australia, the population will certainly increase. The rate of building new homes are done at a snail’s pace, so house prices will always go up.

Also a lot of Melbourne and Sydney councils restricts construction of apartments, as do a lot of homeowners living in those suburbs.

I believe in short term allowing more lands to be built properties on；in long term help more people to get good education will finally fix up these problems. The combination of Australian population and territory area size does not support expensive properties price.

The amount of land within a reasonable commute from employment, around our CBDs, is fixed. So any increase in population pushes up the value and price of every square metre of that land. The owners of urban land make a huge capital gain when they sell, but the younger and poorer members of our community must pay more and more for less and less living space. Most population increase is immigration. That can be corrected with the stroke of a pen. But our government and other political parties are running Australia for the benefit of those already wealthy and the recently arrived foreigners.

Congrats on calling the top. I knew it when I was reading headlines like this but kept it to myself :D

Coming from two generations of a warfare defendant family who are long term unemployed and do not own property, it is very common in these circles to have no aspiration of home ownership, or aspirations for anything at all. There are reason why some people are poor. The next generation really suffer because of this.

We have got to decentralize and adjust our living standards many of these houses are just huge very difficult to maintain unless the entire family contributes they delapadate or tradies set up camp at the mansions. Enough condos build smaller lodging developers with thick walls and air tight windows and doors. An easy sell.

Own house payed off now at 43. Happy days!

More like the two classes of those who can afford to keep paying their mortgage and those who can't....

True. I think in 20 years the classes will be defined by whise family owned a 'normal house' prior to boom and those that didn't. Inheriting a $1m houses will be normal for a % of the population.

It´s stupid buying a normal house by an auction, you will pay most than everyone else

meanwhile in Perth....

Just did a search in Newport north of Brisbane for house or apartment under $470k 55 results Damn it! Too darn easy to buy property.

@8:05 I’m ok, stew you, Jack!

up up the prices are up (ultimately the loser is the fence-sitter, over long term you will be ahead owning a property. I bought my 1st house in year 2005 now worth three times what i paid for)

Playing with 5:1 to 20:1 leverage in the stock market is considered insane for the average investor. Why would I do it on property?

(For most people) You’re also investing your entire net worth not only in a single asset class but also in a single asset. This just seems like another crazy risk to me.

I do wish your videos would indicate in the title that it's about Australia, although it's not a whole lot different in the USA when $70K houses are selling for $125K.

So everyone else in the world has to label their content with what country they are in so Americans don’t accidentally watch something not about America.

What could possibly go wrong?

Wonder if the banks have factored in automation???

If it takes you 11 years to save 20% for down payment it means that you can’t afford the mortgage.

These people are uninformed because of the media coverage that has continued to pump up a market. "...locked out for life" - utter tripe that is fueling irresponsible borrowing.

Almost as bad as Toronto/Vancouver. Crash is coming, started seeing price drop here. I wish we had auctions like that - pretty cool.

Thank you for covering this issue. XOX

Get rid of stamp duty and do what usa does tax you each year based on the value of your house. Means pensioners who still qualify for the age pension with $3 mil properties have to sell. People with 10 properties will no longer have 10 due to cashflow.

Housing affordability is a symptom of the Keynesian economic financial system founded 100 years ago. It was further compounded when nixon went off the gold standard which has then allowed for continual money printing without restraint and of course inflation in everything. Did you know that housing is not counted in CPI data its excluded.

What a joke. The Australian propety market is sick and twisted. I really just feel sorry for everyone - both buyers (note not investors) and renters. It's all shit.

All housing in Australia is about double the price it should be. I’m 38 & my wife is 32 and we have a $290k mortgage on a $850,000 house, so we are going ok, but, I wouldn’t pay more than $500k for my house.

How can a couple like that afford $4000 month on repayments alone on there 935k home . You would need to be earning $100k+ P/A Im not kidding. $3953 per month on a 30 year loan. Using morgage calculator. Can you Imagine suddenly loosing your job to a black swan event...you would be forced to sell for 900k . Then owing 30k on nothing....but thin air

Most people don't realised that there's MODERN Day of Slavery - DEBT Slavery Housing affordability issues is encouraged by crooks from: - politicians introducing policies to fuel the higher debts - banks/regulator lax in lending rules

a million for a 2 bedroom apartment is so crazy why didnt they move just out of sydney

The last drink from the RBA punch bowl.

Almost a million dollars for a 2 bedroom apartment in the shitty suburb of Ashfield!!! This world has gone mad!!!

$932,000 for a 2 bedroom apartment! What a ripoff, in 12 months time it will be worth $600,000.

The biggest ever crash in the worlds 'Real Estate' history is soon to happen in Australia

And the new houses are slapped together with cheap materials, without a thought of safety, or endurability, Fire hazards in the kitchen with no chimneys, tiny bench spaces, no outside drains, cheap doors and fittings, tiled floors in living areas ,lowset ceilings, the list goes on, and you borrowed $650000 to pay for it.

Dogs in the back yard... they’d better be small dogs. Does anyone remember a time when a house in Sydney sat on a 1/4 acre block? I’d never buy my first house in today’s market. Gimme a swag and freedom... forget the debt trap; life is short, don’t spend it paying back 2.5 times the unrealistic amount paid for the house in the first place.

There are many places in the world where 700k will allow you to live a comfortable life for a long time on its own, create a business and thrive. For some odd reason you cling to the tidal forces of greedy realtors and builders while forfeiting your work-life balance to banks who create money out of thin air by lending it to you. That's just nuts.

Our mortgage is just over $200k and we live in Sydney. Thank Christ we bought back in 2011! Place is worth close to $750k now!

$932000 for 2 bedroom apartment?? Insanity.

We can't keep enough drinking water in Sydney and property is this overpriced. Wow great management
