Are you affected by the housing crisis in Australia? The issue could be pivotal in next year's federal election and ABC News is asking you to share your housing story.
Our story is the same as most people: We can afford to rent; but we can’t afford to buy.
We aren’t in danger of being put on the streets, but we are under a different sort of crisis where a combined household income of over $200k is somehow not enough to buy a house these days.
Not that long ago, you could buy a 4-bedroom house for $200k. House prices have gone stupid.
I’m on a similar income and live in the highest cost of living part of the country, so I have to ask, how is it you’re unable to buy?
I bought my house this year and granted it took a while saving up but with our income this high the mortgage barely registers. Early days but we’re on track to pay off the home in under 10 years.
