Description

In 2022, more women than men are first home buyers. It marks a radical shift from just a little more than 30 years ago when Australian women needed a male guarantor to have their own mortgage. These changes could be explained by a changing Australia where societal progression is being made in relation to gender equality. Property is one way to gain equality in Australia, providing owners with short and long-term returns both financially and individually.

Financial advisor and first home buyer, Martina Taylor, bought her first property in Sydney. When we asked Taylor what motivated her investment, she explained: “I entered the property market on my own. It became important for me to achieve the security as well as independence that owning your own home brings.”
