More Australians are buying houses later in their lives.
As a new mortgage survey suggests, a new social trend is emerging in the mortgage market. The survey found, “37% people looking to purchase their first home in the next five years will be over the age of 40”, jumping 28% from last year.
This new trend signifies a shift in the way people are using and spending their money. With the current climate of inflation and rising living costs, people can no longer afford to fund mortgage repayments earlier in life. As Mortgage Choice Survey Spokesperson Kirsty Sheppard explains, people are focussing on other life goals such as career and travel, before entering the property market.
