..... Again demand and supply. The whole problem started cause bank got way too lenient in lending moneys during heydays. I just particularly hate it when seller does fear mongering to resell at higher price.
Case in point, everyone say the same thing about oil price. It can only go up..... Till it crash. 2008 amurica prop crisis, China evergrande, crypto, all freaking same hype.
Inflation is a thing but doesn't explain why prop jump 200% in few years. It's just due speculation plain and simple.
And please la, buying prop so early is the worst advice anyone can make. Ur job is uncertain, u dedicate too much of ur early income to loan repayment till u don't even money to support own family. I see youngster resort to loan shark despite having decent job. Buy when u have financial stability. Don't buy just cause of hype.
You’re right about some things here. In a free market surely there’s marketing tactics including fear mongering, speculation and other hidden behind the scenes things.
Now property and other things are priced with the assumption of double incomes compared to generations ago. This is the world now so it’s the reality for a buyer now.
I disagree with don’t buy young because, one, it does help to reduce wastages on unnecessary tobacco, alcohol, coffee, cakes and vices and secondly, one can own their home earlier too.
The right thing to do is to buy the right sized and priced property. And life is not fair, of course those with rich parents who help pay deposit or gift the home can affect others who have more ego than they have cash.
And by this stage all are adults, so it’s not other people’s fault (like developers, bankers, the so called 1%) if we didn’t do our homework and make poor decisions.
