Liberal Vannin say buying a home "increasingly unaffordable"
We need to build more housing to meet the current high demand.
That's the conclusion of Liberal Vannin chair Michael Josem after a freedom of information request shows buying a home is becoming increasingly unaffordable for Island residents.
When compared to average earnings, he believes house prices are over 72% higher than in the 1990s.
Mr Josem says housing was a big topic during the recent Douglas South by-election:
