Turbulent growth in house prices over 2021 has failed to dampen Aussies’ hopes of landing a foot on the property ladder this year.
New polling showed buying a property remained one of Australians’ top financial New Year’s resolutions for 2022, despite prices rising by the fastest annual rate since the 1980s over the last year.
The survey by financial comparison site Canstar showed 18 per cent of participants, representing an equivalent of 3.6 million people, had made a New Year’s resolution centred around money, with 21 per cent of this cohort resolving to buy a property to live in.
