Default Gen Y capable of repaying their mortgage

Generation Y mortgage holders are capable of repaying their mortgage at an interest rate of at least nine per cent, a mortgage broker survey says.

According to Mortgage Choice's 2009 consumer sentiment survey, 64 per cent of existing borrowers aged 18 to 29 years said they could afford repayments at, or above nine per cent.

Of those, almost half - 46 per cent - are prepared to repay at 11 per cent or more.
If all that is correct, it explains why people are still buying, and why the RBA said "High Home Prices are Sustainable", even with the Mortgage rate only expected to reach 8%

The independent online survey was conducted by Veda Advantage in early November 2009. http://www.vedaadvantage.com/

I do admit I am surprised... very surprised, at this bit
More than a third of Australians plan to buy a property over the next two years despite worries over rising interest rates a new survey had shown.

A mortgage broker saying that? Who would have thought!

Still - bring on the high interest rates my savings could use a boost.

Now if they had the option of pissing it against a wall in Ibiza or Ayia Napa then maybe it would keep the house prices down.
