What is the average deposit for a home loan in Australia?

Hi all.

Im starting to look into buying a house. Im only young, just thinking about entering into the huge realestate market.

What is the average deposit for a home loan?

It completely depends on where you are trying to buy. The less expensive the property the less deposit you will need. If you are trying to buy a house in Perth or Sydney the deposit will be a lot more than a similar house in Adelaide or Hobart for example. A traditional mortgage may require you to have 20% up front or in equity. You can now get non conforming loans where you can actually borrow up to 105% of the property value providing you have the income to make the repayments. They will charge you extra interest as they are taking a higher risk in lending to that ratio but after a few years the capital growth in the property should allow you to refinance the mortgage at standard rates as you will have built enough equity to get a conforming loan.

    I guess there are banks that finance 110 % of the home. But if you want to decrease the loan burden you can start by 20,000 AUD
