What salary do you need to purchase the home of your dreams? Research from money.com.au reveals if you want to buy a million dollar property with 20% deposit, you’ll need a household income of $165,000 pretax. We’ve taken it one step further and crunched the numbers for you on other property prices because hey, not everyone wants to buy a million dollar property. But how much do you need to be earning to secure your next property? Got your sights on securing your first home at $600k with a 5% deposit?  You’ll need to be earning a household income of $125 pretax. Maybe you’ve seen a property that’s around $750k for your first home with a 5% deposit. Then a household income of 145k pretax is required. (Note the jump between a 600k and 750k home) Now, what if it’s not your first home? The numbers will vary. Let’s take a look.  For a $600k property with a 10% deposit, you’ll need to have a household income of $115k minimum. And a $750k property with a 10% deposit will require a minimum household income of $145k.  There are so many variants and considerations and the calculations above assume no credit cards or liabilities. Want to know how we crunched these numbers? Reach out and give us a call, we’d be happy to talk you through it.

Numbers like this make my head spin 🤯. Which is why I used a mortgage broker when I bought my first home. So easy to miss important information and end up paying more than you bargained for.

These figures are based on today, but when inflation was lower and so were interest rates, borrowing capacities were almost 50% higher than today. It will be interesting to see how quickly borrowing capacities can increase when rates come down, and if it will be faster than inflation. I think this will be a good thing to review again in 2 years.
