DEVELOPERS say the "buddy up and buy" trend has been growing over the past six months as a way to get into a first home.

LWP Property Group residential sales manager Tony McEntee said first-home buyers purchasing their first home together was a trend that he had seen a lot in the past six months.

He said that according to his calculations, over the past six months, about 21 per cent of first-home buyers at Ellenbrook purchased on their own, and about 79 per cent as a couple.

"A lot of young people are coming together to purchase their first home," he said. "Instead of young professionals renting together we are seeing them taking out mortgages together."

THERE are many ways for first-home buyers to achieve their goal, reports Ben Hyde.

---------------

CRACKING into South Australia's housing market is becoming a more difficult proposition for first-time buyers but with a thorough plan, and even some help along the way, the great Australian dream can still be realised.

Prospective first-time buyers have had a hard time of it lately as affordability issues continue to mount. Not only has the growth in SA house prices easily outstripped wages growth over the past decade but lending institutions have also tightened their borrowing criteria in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Lazy lazy journalists just recycle an old picture on an old article. And it just so happens the picture came from an arranged spruik by some REAs for FHBs, with the target being an REA herself. If there's nothing relevant, why bother with a picture?

The funny thing is, News Ltd standards are so low, and they are putting a lot of their stuff behind a pay wall. Just look at The Oz - one columnist misreads 100 as 100k, publishes (incorrectly) in her column that 100k jobs were lost in Aus last year, and then a heap of other News Ltd articles pick it up and run with the headline of "100k jobs lost in 2011".

Can't they afford sub-editors or ethics?

I think they know what's happening with the REA cash for comment articles, somehow...

and it's funny they say buying with mates is a trend only in the last 6 months, given that the price bubble has been going for at least 10 years. or everything has to seem contemporary, hip and now -- after all, 'now' is always a good time to buy property!

I've lived in a few rental share houses. It worked pretty well when I was in my early twenties. I was even lucky in the houses I lived in. They were almost always excellent flatmates. Fun and Honest. But there is NO WAY I would want to share a mortgage and tie myself financially to any of them. Let alone friends. They wouldn't remain friends for long I would fear.

I wonder how many people actually do this. I bet not many.

They are no better than any number of free sites now. I saw a guy from Macrobusiness on the ABC business show last night. ^_^

News don't even seem to use a spell checker let alone editors. Maybe they use a spell checker behind the pay wall? That's what you pay for? -_-
