No BS here.
The _average_ house price in Auckland is 1 million dollars. How long does it take to save a 20% deposit on 150k in a HCOL country?
And 150k is generally a senior level wage, no one in NZ is starting on 150k
Plenty of places OP could look at if they were serious but they aren't. I'm not saying housing isn't in a bad spot as it definitely needs serious attention as a key (perhaps "THE") political issue. But hyperbole and lies doesn't help anyone or anything.
Go have a look on real estate sites and tell me you cant find 1/2 bedroom apartments for well under 1 million.
Op is single and clearly not telling the whole story about what he is willing to buy or where he is willing to live.
