Which Australian City Generates Highest Waterfront Premiums

Image
 Hello, Understanding luxury real estate in Australia is not hard. We all know that Sydney is the most in-demand destination when it comes to owning a lavish house. The Harbour-side homes are highly recognised for their privacy and easy access to the waters. They allow the residents to enjoy the most spectacular views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. In addition, they can have a wow moment while soaking up the New Year celebrations and other events taking place on the Harbour. Naturally, the city is generating the highest waterfront premiums across the globe. The other two contenders in the list are Gold Coast and Perth. I am sharing an article here to explain this further.       https://www.milliondollarmansions.com.au/blogs/which-australian-city-generates-highest-waterfront-premiums/

House prices are plunging, but some buyers are left in the cold

 First home buyers are experiencing little respite in the property market downturn, as falls in property values are offset by a jump in mortgage rates, new research shows. It would take a typical Australian first home buyer 10.9 years to save a deposit, as of the September quarter, barely lower than the 11.3 years required in the prior quarter, the latest ANZ CoreLogic Housing Affordability Report found. Time to save varied by city, and a Sydney first home buyer would need to save for 12.8 years, while Melbourne would need 10.6 years, Brisbane 10.1 years and Perth 7.7 years.
