π° How much do you need to earn to buy a home? π°β£

Domain recently looked at the income needed to buy a home, assuming a 20% deposit. β£
β£
It found a solo buyer needs an annual income from $232,000 to buy in Sydney, or $111,000 to buy in Darwin. π‘β£
β£
For couples, each person may need to earn $121,000 in Sydney, or just $68,000 for more affordable capitals. β£
β£
The catch is these were figures for houses. β£
β£
Apartments may require a lower income. π’β£
