recorded an increase in time taken to save an entry-house deposit, between 1 and 18 months longer than last year but it was a mixed outcome for units across the cities, ranging from a 1-month decline to 6-months longer annually.<\/p>\n<p>It becomes challenging for first-home buyers when they\u2019re meeting the ongoing obligations of rent payments, weak interest accrued on savings, and the rising cost of living to save the all-important lump sum deposit, Domain\u2019s chief of research and economics, Nicola Powell said.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention the eye-watering rate of property price growth seen over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how long it takes first-home buyers to save a deposit in each major city.<\/p>\n<h2>How long it takes to save \u2014 a city-by-city breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s unsurprising that the time it takes to save a lump sum deposit on an entry-level house has blown out amid rising property prices.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense then that <strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/property-investment-sydney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydney<\/a><\/u><\/strong> (which saw the strongest growth rate in 2021) continues to take the crown as the city where it takes first-home buyers the longest time to save an entry-level house deposit, at <strong>8 years and 1 month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Canberra<\/strong> has overtaken <strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/propertyupdate.com.au\/property-investment-melbourne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melbourne<\/a><\/u><\/strong> in

best city for first-home buyers, with the quickest savings time at <strong>3 years and 7 months<\/strong> for an entry-house, less than half of the time taken in Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>The city has only seen an increase over the past year of one month and has even declined by one month over the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Hobart<\/strong> had the quickest time to save for an

take first-home buyers significantly less time to save for a deposit for an entry-level unit across most cities.<\/p>\n<p>In Melbourne, weaker unit price growth has translated into a quicker deposit savings time, meaning wages growth and the compounding interest accrued on savings have been able to keep ahead of unit price growth, the report explains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

is dominated by more homeowners, rather than a suburb where tenants predominate.<\/p>\n<p>Affordability tends to improve as you move further away from the city which is why first-home buyers have traditionally looked further afield to get value for money and compromised on commute times or compromised on space and purchased something smaller but more centrally located to the CBD or public
