It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Great article, and absolutely true.
This is a problem that many new home buyers face in this day and age - housing affordability.
Australia has indeed been experiencing a 20-year long housing bubble (longest ever recorded property bubble in a developed nation).
Unfortunately for Gen Y, housing affordability is way out of reach. Unless they become instant millionaires there's no way they can afford it.
The only way for Gen Y (and subsequent generations) to ever really afford a home is by waiting for Australia's property bubble to burst, and then buy property once they revert back to their actual market value - like what happened in the US recently.
It's a shame Australia's economic situation has gotten to this point - higher costs of living, overvalued real estate, rising inflation etc.
Even with the Federal Reserve Bank of Australia lowering interest rates, it's still not enough to entice young buyers (again like the US). So long as fiat currency is continually being printed, it's not going to get easier in the future.
