最郁闷的莫过于在边远地区的人们。他们不但面临着高利率对于当地房价的影响,更面临着新开发对于supply的冲击,同时pay着更高的morgage。
很多affordability issue什么的我看全部扯淡。如果有钱的话我也想住Toorak有网球场游泳池home cinema连着Yarra River的房子。有钱不是问题,问题是没钱。
搞来稿去就是那一帮子人看着房租/房价涨了还不愿意搬,自然就闹事。便宜的地方多了去了,怎么没人去啊!
他们爱闹就闹去吧,最后能闹出一个first home free最好。该涨得地区的房价还是要涨得。房价不涨得麻烦远远比房价涨得麻烦大,因为房价跟income一样,可是说是带动household spending的关键。 ..
嗯,受到利率上升影响最大最首当其冲的就是这些outer suburbs,本来mortgage就到脖子了,利率上升,每周哪怕就只是要多付$10刀,一些低收入家庭就快无法承担。。。。。。。Mortgage sale势必增加。。。

No lack of interest: Caleb and Annette Grant, with Joash, 14 months, have just bought a home in Berwick. Their suburb will be hit hard by the interest rate rise.
Pain felt in mortgage belt
November 08, 2007 12:00am Article from: Herald Sun
INTEREST rate rises hit families in Melbourne's outer southeast especially hard with La Trobe housing stress up three-quarters in six years.
In an area with a proliferation of first-home buyers and other mortgage holders, the suburbs that comprise the marginal electorate of La Trobe will be thinking of the security of their bricks and mortar when they head to the polls.
Since 2001, the number of households in mortgage stress - paying more than 30 per cent of their income on housing - in the La Trobe electorate has climbed by 73.4 per cent.
The seat is held by Liberal MP Jason Wood by a margin of 5.8 per cent.
Major centres include Berwick, Beaconsfield, Boronia and Ferntree Gully, and the electorate is a rapidly growing area commonly chosen by first-home buyers.
At Berwick's Earlsfield Drive, mortgages and interest rates are often the topic of over-the-fence banter.
Caleb and Annette Grant borrowed more than 90 per cent of the $240,000 they paid for their first home, in Earlsfield Drive, in 2005.
The couple lived in a caravan on Ms Grant's parents' property for two years while they saved for their deposit.
Soon after moving in, 14-month old Joash arrived, and the family has since paid off the mortgage relying on Mr Grant's wage as an IT consultant at a nearby private school.
When they moved into their home their interest rate was 6.5 per cent, before it climbed to 7.6.
The Grants are expecting another child.
Mr Grant said the expanding family would be strained by the most recent increase.
But he said he didn't blame the Government for the rise.
"Whatever the parties promise, at the end of the day they can't control the interest rates," he said.
"I'm more concerned about what a Government will do to keep down the cost of having a family."
Further down the road, Linda and Graham Duncan will have to forgo a few little extras to account for the rise in their mortgage repayments.
Mr Duncan, 60, a building contractor, said he hoped
for a change in Government to offset the added financial burden.
"I believe that as working people, we'll be better off under a Labor government," he said.
"Interest rates will go up no matter who's in, but I think we'll gain in other ways if Labor's in power."
For Tanya and Tony Dingle, who live next door to the Duncans and are raising seven children between one and 16 on the income generated by their business, even a small rate rise means major adjustments to the household budget.
Because the family relies on being self-employed it had to opt for a higher interest rate with a non-bank lender.
Ms Dingle said she had already shaved $100 off the weekly shopping budget by buying generic brands but would have to tighten the belt further.
"We'll be OK, but talking to friends, some of them are going to have to rent out their houses the way it keeps going up," she said.
"We'd be better off renting, but we need the security of having our own home.
"But I don't think I'd buy again." |
