News.com.au has run an article today on the surge in middle-aged Australian first home buyers, who could become the majority within a decade:
Data from government-backed South Australian lender, HomeStart Finance — which has a particular interest in helping first-home buyers onto the property ladder — shows that between 2011 and 2015 the number of first-home buyers over 40-years-old increased by more than 50 per cent. And those aged 50 and over increased by more than 100 per cent.
