Well yeah if you're not working and having an income then theres not much to save.
12 months jobless out of 3-4 years = ~3 years of producing income and being able to save a substantial amount, so that's not it.

In the end if you want it bad enough you make it happen. \
About 2 years. I was short of 5k but my parents lent me the money...I was 17 back then.
When my dad bought his first place it took him 6 long years of slogging on the streets to sell stuff. Bought his house for 115k, and funny enough the agent told him its too expensive not to buy it, this was in dover heights, Sydney. He bit the bullet and bought it. Thank god he did!! Im sure you can imagine the value today... starts with the number 6
You were off to a good start being ready to purchase before you were legally allowed to drink.
How long ago was that Dover Heights purchase?
I knew from a very early age I wanted to be different from most people (as I imagine most on this forum want as well).
Took about two years for us to save 20% deposit. We've started saving when we came to Australia (Sydney) in 2011. Did not have much money with us when we came here. We got jobs almost immediately and two years later signed for our first house and land package.
How long did it take you to save for your first property?
Awesome! Love hearing stories that this.
I know soooooo many people here all their lives.... and they STILL claim property is too expensive they will never be able to save the deposit.. LOL
Such jokers I tell you.
As many people here say it depends how much you want something. Those people probably prefer to spend their money on something else (holidays, cars, going out, etc.) rather than saving for their first property.
