EP. 1079 UNLOCKING AFFORDABLE LIVING: AUSSIE REAL ESTATE DREAMS ⏳

Ever wondered why buying a house seems like a more daunting task than it was for your parents? That's because it is! We dig deep into the harsh realities of homeownership in New South Wales, bringing to light how it now takes three times longer to save for a deposit, compared to the 80s and 90s. Shockingly, the share of homes affordable for the average income has nosedived from 27% in 2009 to a meager 7% today. But don't fret, we also spill the beans on potential solutions for first-time buyers and discuss various government schemes that aim to alleviate this burden.

But it's not all doom and gloom! We're also celebrating Father's Day by sharing the heartwarming journey of our colleague Steve and his family. Their inspiring story takes us from the moment Steve's son was born needing a kidney transplant, to the present where his son is a lively youngster, full of zest for life. We want to acknowledge the strength and love of fathers everywhere, and remind you that every cloud has a silver lining. So, don't miss out, listen in, and take a moment to appreciate the fathers in your life.
