But what we did, we had a look at what's been happening to house prices and unit prices.
And in some areas now, very desirable areas, getting into the apartment market is actually quite affordable.
So some really good examples include places like Hawthorne,
In Melbourne, you know, trying to buy a house in Hawthorne is pretty much well and truly out of reach for most first home buyers.
But head into an apartment and you can get an apartment for around $600,000.
So, you know, that's certainly in first home buyer territory.
Even places like New Farm in Brisbane, you know, again, buying a house is pretty much out of reach.
An apartment is well under $700,000.
And across in Sydney, Mossman in Sydney, buying a house is sitting at about $4.5 million median.
Yeah.
You know, you can certainly buy a unit for under a million dollars.
So, you know, I think it is an important shift.
I think first-home buyers do need to make if they want the amenity of some of our most expensive suburbs.
And I think for first-home buyers, you know, there's always that trade-off.
Do you go further out?
Do you go somewhere that may not offer such good public transport, such good retail precincts?
maybe a bigger drive into work and live in a bigger home?
Or do you sacrifice space and live in a far more desirable suburb?
It's always a balancing act that has to take place.
Yeah, look, this is a thing, and I think this is, you know, it is, I guess, a myth that house prices always increase in units.
