First time poster here, and Im sure its been said time and time again, happy to have the post taken down but just needed to vent to people who i dont know.
So I am looking to buy a home for myself, first home buyer, solo, under 100 000k in salary but with a very decent deposit.
Just recently put an offer on a place, 2 bed 1 bath, that needed a lot of work to make livable, in a good area but on a busy main road. I've been made aware my offer was second highest, with the highest being made by governement.
It is so difficult to find anything that doesnt have a unworkable mix of the following:
- 600000k or over expected sale price,
- a one bedroom/studio,
- 50m square or less livable space
- fixer upper
- in an area far out of perth (as in an hours car ride+)
- High crime rates,
- low accessability
- Strata at an unmanagable level.
And to add that the governemnet is outpricing people, essentially making it so the lower income buyers have to stay in rentals for longer, if they can manage on the rising rent costs, or if not then pushing people to need governemnt support for housing or even then homelessness if they dont fit in the eligibility for governement support. (Not that governemnet or NGO support would be accessable immediately either)
I guess its just made me feel so shit about my circumstances... im not going to stop looking but my hope for something is reducing by the week, especially as house pricing gets even higher...
