Borrowing power is shrinking faster than house prices, leaving many buyers no closer to owning a home.

    “With Sydney’s median house price still hovering at $1.6 million, a further $30,000 drop is still closer to a rounding error than a savings,” Canstar’s data insights director, Sally Tindall said.

    That says it all doesn’t it.

      Stamp duty seems to be a scam to me. I won’t move or downsize if I’m going to lose a year’s income for doing so.
