Please Enjoy This Generator Roasting Our Fucked Aussie Property Market

Housing affordability in Australia has been a real hot topic for some time, particularly for millennials trying to edge their way into the market. 

Given the average Sydney house deposit has risen to over $200,000, it’s no wonder a lot of us have given up trying. A life lived under crushing debt kinda blows. 
Max Thorley understands the frustration. So much so, he created fuckrealestate.com, a website that generates statements about Sydney and Melbourne property prices that feel almost too real. 
Offt. Spicy. We spoke to Max about his thoughts on the current market and why he decided to make the timely website.
“I think [the property market is] overpriced, but I’m not an expert,” Max told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “I don’t think we’ll see a ridiculous crash where houses lose 40% of their value, but I do think we’re due some stagnation or a small reduction in prices.” 
He says the current conversation around allowing millennials to access their super to buy property is dumb and served as the inspiration for the site. 

“All the talk in the news about the government considering letting young Aussies access their superannuation to buy a house. It’s a massive joke, transferring wealth, that needs time to compound, to the older generations; and propping up property prices artificially.” 

Working in advertising, Max agrees young Australians are having a rough fucking time cracking the market, but is remaining hopeful that one day he’ll be able to own his own place. 

“I’m not ruling it out, but I’d have to make so much money before I felt comfortable taking on that much debt, and that’s looking pretty unlikely,” he said.

While he has no other website plans in the pipeline right now, Max also runs the Makesydneylateagain.com page, which he admits was funny until Trump actually got elected.
