Do we actually have a housing affordability crisis here? And if so, what can we do about it? Many, many people trying to make decisions about how to get more people into property, but I guess the bottom line here is sometimes, we have to realize that not everyone wants to be in property.<br \/>\nSo, do we actually have a crisis? I\u2019m going to talk about this with Matthew Bateman. Matthew is from ThePropertyMentors.com.au, giving great advice to people who want to get into the property market.<br \/>\nMatthew, thank you for your time.<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Pleasure, mate.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Question: do we have a housing affordability crisis, and if so, what can we do about it?<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>To focus on things, we need some definitions around what a crisis is. \u201cCrisis\u201d is usually a word that the journalists and the media like to bandy around because it draws on really strong emotions, but as investors, we want to try to take emotion out of the equation. So, the best way to look at it, I guess, is to use some numbers and use some figures and work out where the market actually is right now.<br \/>\nThe thing about housing affordability is nobody is going to deny that it is a difficult thing to get your foot onto that property ladder for the first time. But Kevin, I\u2019m sure you\u2019d agree, it\u2019s always been difficult relative to the times.<br \/>\nThis is a great exercise to do for anyone who wants to put some perspective around things. I remember speaking to my grandfather who was in the Air Force and he had three years overseas, and he came back with about \u00a3800 in those days. About \u00a31 a day was what they got paid for basically putting their life on the line and serving our country.<br \/>\nHe came back with \u00a3800 and decided \u201cI\u2019m back, I\u2019m relatively young, I have a new wife, we\u2019re starting a family. We need a house.\u201d So, he did what a lot of people at that stage did, which was he went and found something that he could afford to buy. And at that stage, it was actually a brand new subdivision in a suburb in Sydney southern suburbs called Caringbah.<br \/>\nObviously, Caringbah is now a well and truly established suburb, but when my grandfather was buying there, there was no water, no power, no sewer, and he actually built a house himself. It took him around two years to build because \u2013 Kevin, I\u2019m sure you\u2019re aware of this \u2013 early after the War, there was a shortage of materials.<br \/>\nSo, while he had it all quoted up and he had enough to buy the land\u2026. The land was basically \u00a31 a foot of street frontage, so he bought himself a 50-foot street-front block, worked out to be just under a 1000-square meter block. Back then, the land was not the most expensive part given there was no water or sewage; it was the material cost.<br \/>\nHe actually built the house himself on the weekends. After working a full 9-5 normal workweek, he\u2019d go on the weekends, get some help from some mates, and they\u2019d started knocking his house together. The house actually stalled for a long period of time because he saw his plaster costs triple, again, just because of the shortage of materials post-war.<br \/>\nLong story short, that property, he\u2019s actually now in the process of subdividing and selling off half of the backyard, of which he\u2019ll probably end up getting close to $1 million on around about 500 square meters out in Caringbah now.<br \/>\nI guess the moral of that story is housing has always been difficult to get into. Do we have a crisis now? I guess just putting that context aside, we have to come back to how do we measure housing affordability? I guess probably the most simplistic measure \u2013 and probably the one that gets the most media attention \u2013 is the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a worldwide study. They look at a whole bunch of different cities around the world to say what\u2019s affordable and what\u2019s not affordable? Their metric or their measurement for affordability really comes down to the median or average wage for the country and the median dwelling price. What they do is they basically just say if a house is worth X and the average wage is worth Y, we divide X by Y and it gives us a number.<br \/>\nNow, using their metrics \u2013 it\u2019s called a median multiplier or median multiple \u2013 they rate affordable housing as being a multiple of three and under, and severely unaffordable being a metric of 5.1 and over.<br \/>\nIf you go to the ABS data \u2013 which I did recently, just so that the numbers are accurate \u2013 the full-time adult average weekly wage is about $1567 a week, or around about just under $82,000 a year. So that\u2019s the average wage, if you like, here in Australia.<br \/>\nThe median dwelling price\u2026 I\u2019m careful here to use the word \u201cdwelling\u201d as opposed to \u201chouse,\u201d because obviously dwellings encapsulate all forms of housing from apartments, units, villas, townhouses, houses, etc. The average dwelling price in Australia is about $687,000. This is ABS data.<br \/>\nThat gives us a dwelling-to-income ratio of about 8.4, which puts housing affordability in Australia according to the Demographia study at severely unaffordable. In fact, all of the major capital cities in Australia are in \u201cseverely unaffordable\u201d territory.<br \/>\nHowever, to put the flipside on that, to use their metric of being affordable as three and under for the average wage, that would mean that the average dwelling price in Australia, to be affordable, should be $245,000 or less.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>So, if I understand you correctly here, Matthew, what you\u2019re suggesting is that that price you talked about for the median dwelling price, about $600,000, dropping back to a third? That\u2019s just not going to happen.<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, $245,000. It\u2019s not going to happen, and I would ask, do we really even want that to happen?<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Exactly.<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>If we look at where Australia holds their wealth, most Australians hold the majority of their wealth in real property. Therefore, if we saw our economy and the wealth of Australians basically reduced by two-thirds, that would have catastrophic outcomes on GDP growth, and we\u2019d probably go into a full-blown depression. So, we have to be careful what we\u2019re looking for or asking for when it comes to housing affordability.<br \/>\nI\u2019d actually like to redefine this model as not being necessarily an issue about affordability, but probably being an issue more around accessibility. If I can just use another quick example to highlight what I mean by that, if we went out and took a typical property here\u2026 Let\u2019s say we were in Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane and we went and bought, let\u2019s say, a two-bedroom apartment and we paid $500,000 for that, in those markets, we should be able to achieve somewhere around a 4% rental yield, or the actual rent to live in that property would be about $20,000 a year.<br \/>\nNow, to purchase that same property for $500,000 on an 80% loan-to-value ratio, I\u2019d need to come up with a $100,000 deposit, but then my mortgage would be on $400,000. Now, if I could get interest rates at 5% \u2013 which is fairly achievable today for most buyers or most investors in the market \u2013 that\u2019s equivalent of $20,000 a year in mortgage.<br \/>\nSo, realistically, to own the home, as long as you have that accessibility factor, meaning you have the deposit, the actual mortgage cost is probably very similar to what a lot of people are paying in rent.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>That\u2019s fascinating, Matthew. So, what can we do about it?<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Kevin, there are a number of different ways that people can go about getting their foot on the property ladder. Obviously, that deposit and that accessibility is the bigger issue, so again, a lot of people are choosing to go to the bank of mom and dad for deposits, people are teaming up and joining forces.<br \/>\nOne of the things we\u2019re working on behind the scenes with state government and local housing providers as well as community housing providers is we\u2019re looking at some options to actually be able to get more affordable rents into the market, because not everyone wants to buy their own home. There are a lot of people who will choose to or by necessity, will be forced to rent, so we\u2019re looking at solutions in that space.<br \/>\nAnd one of the things that I think is going to come out in the next year or two or three is probably going to be deposit bonds, and that is governments supporting young people who want to get into the market by basically stumping up that 20% or 25% initial deposit.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Fascinating stuff, Matt. I thank you for your time. We can talk a lot more about this.<br \/>\n<strong>Matthew:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I could talk all day on this.<br \/>\n<strong>Kevin:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019m listening to you, and I\u2019m going back on my history as well, my grandparents, my parents and even my own experience. I\u2019m at that stage now where I\u2019m going to become one of those people who talk about the experience.<br \/>\nMate, it\u2019s been great talking to you. Thank you so much for your time, Matt.
