35 is the new 25
When it comes to buying property, 35 has become the new 25, even for buyers with parents prepared to chip in or provide a family guarantee, he says. Most face several years hard saving to put away $50,000 to $100,000; sums which no longer represent a sizeable deposit in a city where the median house price exceeds $1 million. "It's unrealistic for the majority of people to buy a property to live in, in Sydney, under 25," Gerrard says. "Ten years ago, people were buying in their early 20s and paying off a mortgage by 30 or 35."
