The challenge
The vanishing dream of self-ownership
1.The average age of first-time buyers is now 33
2.Property prices are rising three times faster than wages
3.There is a shortfall of housing, that shortfall is, anyway not affordable
4.Young working adults living with parents, or renting and thus losing their downpayment savings
5.Stricter mortgage criteria. Lenders require higher lending scores
6.Increasing student debt burden
7.Rising cost of living
8.Limited housing supply leads developers to aim for wealthier buyers to maximise profit
9.Lack of government assistance
