  1. I think they are targeting ppl who cant do the math. if you actually do the math, you see that its a better option to just rent and put your money into a basic bank account earning 3-5 percent interest than to use this scheme and get docked 40% once you sell to cashout … By that time all the people in gov will be long gone and you will be left with your losses …

  2. An important thing the govt. can do to better regulate the housing market is to have what they call as 'Non-Recourse' home loans on primary homes (they have it in USA). A major concern for many buyers is a market fluctuations. If they have 'Non-Recourse' loans at least that some confidence about their liabilities and be able to purchase a home. The 'Non-Recourse' home loan is where if someone has a default of their loan, then the bank can only take the house and nothing else from the person taking home loan (you can google it)

    Another approach could be to provide a minimum base support price on a primary home. This will also provide some confidence to buy. In this approach, the primary home buyers are guaranteed the base price (same as original purchase price) on sale of their home.

    if they can do it without affecting credit scores that will change the game for everyone. Of course this should go with proper lending assessment of repayments.

  3. Imaginne being a debt slave for a modular home, in a prefabbed home that has no character,, with no back yard, just 4 walls and a fence for 40 years, this country no longer cares for the well being of it citizens, it just a ponzi scheme

  4. If you put more money into market houses will become even more expensive.

    Solution that will help with the problem: all regional towns where houses are still more affordable need to have plenty of new land released so people can build houses in more affordable areas.

    The government focus needs to be on moving more services and infrastructure into those many towns so people want to live there rather than in the overcrowded capital cities.

  5. Over 1000 days lost, gov wont achieve target. (Fleetwood Uareslka study)

    …well. have more housing starts. Not look at the vilumes of existing levels ans say targets wont be sfhieved . 🤔🤨

  6. on the streets there are sold signs everywhere, houses for sale don't last many weeks. they are all sold within weeks. how good the property market is we all know. what is the boost for the property market needed. maybe out of minds. or his property should be more expensive it seems like what he wants.
    the Super would be for the Super inflation cycle generator i believe,

  7. But it's not affordable housing and this is the main concern. Module homes hey that will help, on a say 250 square block. You should have room to grow a few weeds. That's the other problem they say 3 and 4 bedroom houses but you can't swing a cat in a room. You might get a small shed in the backyard. Only room for a small car in the garage. That's only if you don't put any collectables or anything in there. Now I know why they built 3 massive storage facilities recently in my area. Within a KLM radius of each other. You can't fit your stuff at home so put it in storage for over $300 a month. The PEOPLE of this COUNTRY are being held to RANSON. By the Govt, Big Business, and Developers. If you can't see see that your blind. They have all the control. That's how SAD this COUNTRY has become

  8. So the rich who own homes refuse to sell them for a reasonable price and elect politicians who ban building more houses, then they spend your children's future in government payout schemes so you can afford to make the rich even richer buying a house that you will never own. Pretty sick if you ask me.

  9. Anything to keep the bubble inflated!
    Literally every intervention the government has made with real estate has been detrimental to young people. They act like they’re doing you a favour but all they’re doing is making the problem worse.
    *Capital gains tax discount
    *First home buyers grant
    *Negative gearing
    *Artificially low interest rates
    *Help to buy scheme
    *Stamp duty concessions and exemptions
    They all pushed the prices up by silly amounts.
    Homes should be half what they are now and interest rates should be higher.

  10. This is a band aid solution, you will see investors make use of this to generate rental income through proxies.

    I rather we not have any subsidies and instead use those $63 billion to invest into construction labour force, building more home materials, modular home, and building electricy, water, sewerage and NBN pipeline to new land releases.

  11. If a renter buys a house a rental is freed up. I'd love this! Its a choice between shared equity with the bank. Or you own 2 pc with a 58% mortgage and a 40% ownership by the government.

    So let's say a house 100k you only pay interest on 58% of the property! That's awesome!

  12. Qantas, Virgin, Netflix and Canva among 1,200 major companies that paid no income tax in Australia in 2022-23.1 Nov 2024
    Maybe companies must pay taxes in Australia.
    Government compensate with extra taxes on people.

  14. STOP FEEDING INFLATION! Only the people at the top make money from this Bs.. Support career change mature age apprenticeships – pay them a livable wage worth changing jobs for!!!!! We have a cost of labour issue. Labour cost is out of control in Australia. Fix the problem from the bottom, don’t just feed the top.
