Warren Brown
According to a Grattan Institute report earlier in the year, since the year 2000 the cost of a typical Australian home has grown much faster than incomes. Back then, buying a home would cost you around four times your annual income. Today the cost is more than eight times the median income – and ten times it in Sydney, which remains the most expensive Australian capital city in which to purchase a home.
