Re:Average home prices in New Zealand reaches 8.8 times aver... by Markoff on Friday May 06, 2022 @05:46AM (#31283274)
it's household, not person income, which is consisting usually from 2+ people at least in Czechia

the problem with mortgages is that they should be heavily regulated long time ago requiring at least 20-30% first downpayment, cheap mortgages are just pushing prices for everyone including poor people, I'm glad for current regulation, but sadly it's way too late, my apartment in Prague also doubled value in last 5 years, which is insane.

I'm idiot, so I paid it in cash. I am also idiot, I could buy next apartment in cash again without being mortgage slave (I have savings roughly worth 40 m2 Prague flat currently), but nowadays mortgage slaves are preferred instead of people who can save their own money and stupid people happy with cheap mortgages don't realize these are just pushing prices up, instead with inaccessible mortgages prices would be much more stable and you would need to scrap money elsewhere but without greedy banks.

But there are good news, recently prices started to go down and need to be already cut, because they are even beyond of mortgage slaves already.
