My fucking parents 1st house was $20,000 in 1980 I think. They got lent half the money by my Mothers parents and the other have one of Dads work mates. Both charged no interest. Then they sold it in 1989 for $88,000 and paid back those people. got the rest in a bank loan and bought a new house for $96,000.

I asked them for money for a deposit on a house years ago and got told they needed it to go on holidays over seas.

In 1990 NSW average house price was 110,000 now it's 550,000(?) whilst average wages have only doubled. This is all that great multiculturalism we were told about, but don't worry our economy and GDP have risen isn't that great?

The government has sold us out, if the housing market does crash badly and people stop building houses we will have a massive recession on our hands,. There is no easy way out of this mess

I mean that they just had 1 million or something people just go to their country. They didn't build a bunch of houses for them to live in before hand.

So supply of housing will force the price up.

>how can we NEETs profit off it?

By driving the housing market into the fucking dirt.

When the market eventually slows down and prices begin to drop, imagine what would happen if thousands of NEETs began posting fake ads where houses are being sold well below market price.

Other house owners would panic and lower the price to get rid of their real estate, thus creating a domino effect.

>My grandad bought a flat in central london as a factory worker back in 1954. He had to put in a lot of overtime, but basically it was just a factory job. We he died the flat was sold for £1.6 million my mother got just over £650,000 in heritance, my parents bought a new house in the country, and gave me their old house.

Basically you either get given a house given to you by parents, or there is literally no hope.

What's more, its almost entirely luck, there was no hard effort, my factory worker grandad just picked a lucky location to buy a house, now his children and grandchildren are set for life.

desu, rent money is only dead if you are paying too much. Paying under $200 a week is pre decent vs owning a house if you are renting.

Why I moved in with a mate that was fucked over by his girl friend. He bought a house at 18 with her and she later fucked off because she wanted to "travel". He paid her like $10,000 to fuck her up.

When house prices in California first started to skyrocket around 2000 I remember thinking there is no way the average home could go to 1 million. The reason being how can anyone pay for one with normal wages in 30 years. By 2008 it was obvious they were lending to people who had no ability or intention to to pay that loan. Instead of renting people got loans for a few years and its still happening.

The house my mom bough in 1973 was $22,000. Today the same house without improvements is worth $600,000! Adjusted for inflation it should be $117,000.

My boomer mom bought her house on the outskirt of a developing suburb 10 miles outside of a major metropolitan city in California. Bought a plot of land and built it up. Finished paying off her 30 year mortgage when I graduated high school.

My dad lived in a few houses but basically started small and traded up until he stuck with the house that he lives in now, which is another 10 miles south of where my mom used to live in a suburb that didn't start thriving until I was 10-12 years old.

I imagine those are the basic stories for most boomer parents. Either they bought their own little plot or house in the middle of nowhere and eventually the land around it got built up, or they moved around until they earned enough money to buy a decent sized place in a decent location.

That's how the same is gonna be for me. I'm about to start a government job that is gonna have me relocate to somewhere in America. It's gonna take a few years to really start making good money so until I can afford a nice place of my own I'll probably just rent some apartments and save up money.

Lucky enough to get a mortgage on an apartment 7 yrs ago with partner, only because we were both lucky to have a shittonne saved. Selling price of units in our building has nearly doubled in that time.

While that's great for us, it's fucked for like 90% of our friends who work mid level careers and still have fuck all hope of getting a mortgage.

Yeah, too bad that a single summer's wage, especially in the sort of low-skilled, casual jobs available to unqualified students, will give you MAYBE enough money to by some generic second-hand car these days. Nowhere fucking NEAR enough to pay off a down payment and pay off your uni loans.

But all things considered, you're either a retarded boomer/Gen Yer or just a troll. Possibly both.

You're an idiot and obviously know nothing about the Australian property market.

Young people are not buying houses in the city, they are buying houses in the outskirts sometimes well over an hour from the cbd.

I will give you an example of prices in Sydney. In 1975, the average property cost 4 times the average full time income, today it costs 12 times the average full time income. The average full time income in australia is around $75,000 so you see how insane those prices are.

Why do you have to live in Sydney? In Lisbon, prices are ridiculous as well compared to the rest of the country. That's because there are way too many people and businesses wanting to be there. I can rent a 2 bedroom new apartment in my home town for the price I rent a shitty bedroom in Lisbon.
I know it's easier to find jobs in big cities and those jobs are preferred by prestige whores. However, if you want to raise a family do not work there or live in big cities. You will make less money in the end and be a shitty parent.
