It takes nearly 11 years to save for a house deposit | ABC NEWS

Описание: Annual inflation has jumped to 3.8%, well outside of the RBA's target range, making an interest rate rise more likely.
Residential construction data from the ABS shows an increase of over 8% in value, but that's mainly due to rising costs, rather than more homes being built.
The time it takes to save a deposit for an average house has reached a new record high of almost 11 years. This is calculated as the time it takes to save 15% of an average wage.
