Housing was about 2-3 times wages back then. So it would have been boomers whinging, that'd be right, the most self entitled gen of them all.

Yep, the bear whingers no doubt refused to buy in 1970 'cus houses were unaffordable and waited for the crash. Ozzie houses then tripled in price over the next 10 years.

Wages grew fast too over the 1970s but the biggest problem was that house prices grew faster than the savings for a deposit and substantial deposits were required. Real savings returns were negative. People had it tough in those days. A common way of getting enough deposit in those days was to borrow some of the required deposit from elsewhere even though the interest rate was higher than mortgage rates.

Moops people still buy houses at the same multiples of income (unless they are rich from other sources). Just because the median house in a certain multiple of median incomes, does not mean that the median person pays that multiple. The person buying the median home is probably an upgrader with considerable equity. The first home buyers borrow what the banks allow them to borrow and apart from counting women's wages that has not changed in decades.
Definition of a doom and gloomer from 1993
The last camp is made up of the doom-and-gloomers. Their slogan is "it's the end of the world as we know it". Right now they are convinced that debt is the evil responsible for all our economic woes and must be eliminated at all cost. Many doom-and-gloomers believe that unprecedented debt levels mean that we are on the precipice of a worse crisis than the Great Depression. The doom-and-gloomers hang on the latest series of negative economic data.

I remember reading an article some years ago about how San Francisco was hellishly expensive, and how prices were inevitably going to crash.

I'm pretty sure the article was written in the late 1970's.

I don't understand why the property investment community is so negative here? Nearly every thread I have read on this forum seems to be a warzone, and this one is very provocative from the outset. Can someone explain this to me please. My husband and I are considering an investment property as a retirement vehicle because Brisbane prices seem very attractive but are we missing something about the venture?

It's about that now for FHBs.

ABS Housing Costs and occupancy Report 2011-12
FHBs with a mortgage in 2011/12

Mean gross weekly income = $2120 ($110,542 pa)

Mean value of dwelling = $393k

Mean mortgage outstanding = $279k

House price/income ratio = 3.5

Mortgage/income ratio = 2.5
Housing costs to Income broadly unchanged since 1994 - re-ratified here

Warzone is correct. Property bears and bulls are passionate. This is where they go to war. Only one team will be victorious.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
