Sydney Mortgages Higher Than London or New York

Wow, I knew Sydney was expensive but spending 3/4 of your income on your mortgage hardly leaves a lot for other bills let alone anything else 
.
SYDNEYSIDERS spend more on their mortgage than families in London and even New York.
A survey of global cities put Sydney at the top when it came to the percentage of income spent on mortgages.
The median Sydney house price is $626,444, with mortgage repayments of $4123 a month - three quarters the average monthly income.

Re: Sydney Mortgages Higher Than London or New York
But the Sydney average wage is higher than the Australian average wage...and the people earning the lowest or no wages don't have mortgages.

Re: Sydney Mortgages Higher Than London or New York
Although some houses prices are very high, the actual average new mortgage figures, show a different story regarding real repayment ratios.
The average new mortgage is closer to $310,000 with repayments of $2,157 per month.
The average mortgage holder is full time employed, and has a working partner, but often only part time.
The average NSW Full time Male wage is $6,158 per month, so the average mortgage repayment is closer to 35% of a SINGLE wage.
If both are working, with one part time, that ratio could come down to 20% -25%.

Less than 20,000 FHBs nationally? Looks a bit low.
Why are you only quoting March and June statistics btw?

Re: Sydney Mortgages Higher Than London or New York
A quarter is three months btw. You should really by rights source your statistics btw. I'm assuming those are from the ABS and you have a link? There are spreadsheets available there too with comprehensive data.

The following figures are calculated from the Australian Bureau of Statistics:
5609.0 – Housing Finance, Australia
6302.0 – Average Weekly Earnings, Australia
The reference numbers refer to the specific ABS spreadsheets.

This might be a good guide to House prices, mortgages and household incomes, over a decent time frame.
