Oh yeah sure, now that I've already brought and the markets gone to shit... typical.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T05:42:00.000Z

exactly! We saved for years and still got outbid by some cashed up boomer. Unreal.

Finn Walker2026-07-23T05:12:00.000Z

Honestly feeling for anyone trying to get in right now. Property is a joke but what else can you do 🤷

Back in my day you could buy a house for a pack of smokes and a handshake. Now you need a Bloody million bucks.

More choice doesn't mean cheaper. Banks still want a deposit that takes a decade to save.

Drew Parker2026-07-23T05:50:00.000Z

lol cope. Could've bought in a recession like everyone else who made it. Not my fault your generation wants avocado on toast.

Jamie Fox2026-07-23T06:00:00.000Z

true, but if you've got the deposit and the job security now's probably the best it's been in years.

I just bought and honestly the process was hell. But if rates drop we might actually come out ahead.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-23T06:21:00.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. First home buyers don't stand a chance when every second house is an Airbnb.

Sky Murphy2026-07-23T06:31:00.000Z

Facts. And don't forget the bloody foreign buyers still hiding behind trusts.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-23T07:07:00.000Z

exactly ffs. My landlord just sold our place to some guy from overseas who never even visited.
