Blue-collar squeeze: Logan locals priced out, pushed west to buy
Tow truck driver Trent Smith and his wife Sammy had a long-term plan to save for a home deposit, but surging prices pushed them out of their hometown. The couple, both fulltime workers with two-year-old twin boys and an older son, hoped to buy in Logan, on Brisbane's southern fringe, but struggled to find anything decent within their $600,000 budget. 'We were stuck with a certain amount we could spend, and it was getting more concerning as we were looking in Logan where we lived. It seemed like every week the properties were getting worse or smaller for the price you paid,' 29-year-old Mr Smith said. They widened their search westward after routinely missing out on the few suitable properties available locally as rival buyers offered $50,000 to $100,000 above asking price. The couple eventually secured a property in One Mile, Ipswich, on a 642 sqm block. The centrally located three-bedroom, one-bathroom home was move-in ready, a big backyard for the kids to play, and was affordable at $600,000. 'I always thought the place had a bad rap, but after living there the last month, I'm glad I agreed,' Mr Smith said. 'I was worried, but Sammy really liked the place from the get-go.' Mr Smith is a self-employed contractor who was able to transfer to a local branch of the company, while Ms Smith, 34, now commutes to Slacks Creek for work and daycare. 'It is a compromise but if you can get into a home, it's worth it,' he said. They worked with mortgage broker Tristan Vercoe, of Fortifi Finance, to secure a loan requiring just a 5 per cent deposit through the government's First Home Guarantee scheme. 'Most self-employed people think they will have to wait two years to get into a home, but if you get the right team working together you can get it done in six months with some forward planning, like we were able to do for Trent and Sammy,' Mr Vercoe said. He said getting on the property ladder required a positive mindset but often also a reality check. 'Instead of focusing on the opportunities they don't have, the people who are successful are looking at the cards they've got and making the most of it. 'Trent and Sammy know this isn't their forever home, but they have already manufactured equity in that property by upgrading the floors and they are so happy,' Mr Vercoe said. PropTrack modelling paints a stark picture of how far affordability has shifted in the past five years, by projecting 2030 home prices if recent growth continues at the same pace. A typical house in Logan Central, now priced at $657,000, would hit $1.5m, based on 129 per cent growth since 2020. One Mile, while currently slightly more affordable at $600,000, was on a similar growth trajectory of 134 per cent – with a projected median of $1.405m if the trend persists over the next five years.

NASCAR reinstates crew member who previously violated substance abuse policy
NASCAR's weekly penalty report was a short one this week. There were no issues following the NASCAR Truck and NASCAR Xfinity Series races in the sport's highly anticipated return to Rockingham. The only issue occurred on Saturday following the Xfinity race as Jesse Love was disqualified when his No. 2 Chevrolet failed post-race inspection. He was stripped of the race win, allowing Sammy Smith to inherit the victory. Richard Childress Racing intends to appeal the penalty and they will make their case on Wednesday, April 22nd. Advertisement The Cup Series was not racing in their only off-weekend for the remainder of the 2025 season. They will now compete for 28 consecutive wins until the championship finale in November. The only item included in this week's report wasn't actually a penalty, but a reinstatement. Josiah Wright, who was working as the rear tire changer for RFK Racing's No. 6 Ford Mustang with driver Brad Keselowski, was suspended on March 19th. He was found in violation of the sport's substance abuse policy. However, this week's penalty report indicates that he has been reinstated. Although not stated, this likely means he completed NASCAR's Road to Recovery program. NASCAR stated that he is "eligible to return to all NASCAR activity." Corbin Sklener, who was also suspended along with Wright following the Las Vegas race weekend, was also found in violation of the sport's substance abuse policy. However, he was not mentioned and has not yet been reinstated. Sklener worked as a jackman for Mike Harmon Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
