  1. This is all by design, the slack is supposed to be picked up by the REITS and ye plebs are going to be paying a corporate landlords until you die.

  2. First time buyers make up 60% of purchasers

    And they aren’t in their prime earning period yet either so ….

  3. A lot of couples are getting help from their family. They are not always top earners. 

  4. I don’t this is true looking at the stats but an undue amount of savings are needed now to buy a first home. I reckon if direct most first/second time buyers are receiving help from family.

  5. I’m definitely not a top earner. Good at saving I suppose

  6. We also have the highest building spec requirements in Europe right now

    Prob need to drop standards

  7. Make developers can share why the houses are so overpriced?

  8. “We need to reduce space and quality.

    Ok Mr Developer, you want to build shoeboxes at a lower quality so you can sell more shit houses. What a coincidence it’ll make you and the shareholders more money. And you’ll be long gone by the time the issues arise. Pull the other one.
