Property purchases are long term investment and therefore have more chance of a return than other short term investments but its still always good to consider personal circumstances too. You can call me on 0437601984 to discuss your lending capacity. I'm a mobile home loan adviser and can help you get a better idea. good luck.
If the statement that 'property prices always increase but never go in reverse' is true than how do you explain markets where the prices HAVE decreased? Yes they may recover in time, but what if you're one of the unlucky ones who needs to sell up before the higher price returns. I honestly don't know if right now is a good time to buy or not, but I don't think the idea that you could NEVER lose out in property purchase is simply untrue.
I agree with AMGG. When you are financially ready to buy, but now. Property prices always increase and the right time is when you can afford to buy now. When buying there is this guide on how to buy a property in victoria that might help you. https://www.thinkconveyancing.com.au/blog/a-guide-to-buying-property-in-victoria/
It is never too late to buy. Property prices always increase but never go reverse. So if rates are lower then the time is right. That's why my investors can afford to buy now from the bank. The bank is the one that gives you the money.
It would be a different story if you had 100% of the purchase price
If you are buying a property you need to think long term. You are talking about a few more months the prices might drop. Well, so what? In 10 years time you will not miss a couple of $$. Even if you did see prices drop more, who is to know if your property would have dropped too? And would you still have paid the same amount for it regardless of the other properties around it? The time when you can afford to buy is the only 'right' time. Hope that helps.
