Affordable homes? Ceiling property price may be coming soon and more.

Perhaps it’s 35, 30 or even 35 years but there is an end. Once it reaches the end, the property is now an asset which could be turned into cash if needed. Meanwhile rental is lower versus monthly mortgage but this is forever and it will continue for generations. So, measures to assist first-time home buyers is always welcomed.
