We constantly receive mixed messages about the housing market in Australia... one day everything is booming, and the next we're supposedly headed for bust.

But no matter where you live in this country one thing is for sure, buying your first home can feel virtually impossible amid a minefield of dodgy agents, underquoting, and an astonishing amount of paperwork and expense.

The Quicky speaks to a couple of experts and two current buyers to find out what is really going on, and how you might be able to finally secure the keys to your own place.
