Rising House Prices and Stamp Duty Are Homebuyers’ Main Concern, Reveals Rick Otton
(PRWEB) May 09, 2014 -- A new survey from realestateview.com.au revealed that stamp duty, the rising cost of houses for sale, and saving up for a deposit are the three biggest obstacles that hinder young Syndeysiders from buying a home, The Daily Telegraph reported on 6 May 2014.
“These kind of survey results are just sad to hear, since I know for a fact that there are a lot of young Sydneysiders out there who have the passion to become homeowners. A buying rush for properties usually happens whenever interest rates are down, but, unfortunately, many young Aussies living in Sydney are unable to join the rush, because they don’t have enough cash to enter the market,” according to Rick Otton, the host of the highly anticipated Ready, Set, BOOM tour.
Mr. Otton then said in an interview for Ready, Set, BOOM that a lack of money shouldn’t be an issue when it comes to buying a home, especially after the lessons we learned after the global financial crisis.
“If there was one thing that the global financial crisis has taught us it’s that you can’t solve new problems with old solutions. So if we continue following the old process, there’s a big chance that the next generation of Aussies will be renters all their lives,” he explained.
“In order to stop this cycle, I recommend young Aussies to start thinking of creative ways to solve their property problems rather than follow the traditional process. For instance, rather than take out a new bank loan, buyers may negotiate for flexible payment terms with the seller, wherein the buyer assumes the existing financing and pays the rest of the remaining equity in increments. In that way, a buyer doesn’t have to spend a large sum of money upfront. And because the payment terms are more convenient to the buyer, it makes it easier for the buyer to pay the seller’s asking price. It’s a win-win for both parties,” he shared.
