If you have or are currently trying to buy property in Australia, you will know that the so-called 'Australian Dream' of owning your own home is more like a nightmare as prices continue to rise with seemingly no end in sight.

But why is it that property values across the country are going through the roof despite all the uncertainty of the pandemic, and might there really be a 'good' time to buy on the horizon?

The Quicky speaks to two young women hoping to buy their first home, and an economics expert to find out what has made Australian real estate some of the most expensive in the world, and why a recent change could finally make it more affordable.
