🏡 Struggling to save a 20% deposit for your first home? 🏡⁣
⁣
The federal government is expanding its popular 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers: the Home Guarantee Scheme!⁣
⁣
What’s changing on 1 October 2025?⁣
⁣
🏡 Higher property price caps⁣
🙌 No place limits⁣
😁 No income caps⁣
🧑‍🌾 Simpler access in the regions⁣
⁣
With CoreLogic predicting that home prices could climb 5.8% nationally over the next 12 months, the scheme could help you beat rising property prices.⁣

🤔 How soon can you refinance a home loan? 🤔⁣
⁣
You’ve just seen a loan with a pretty attractive rate – but is it too soon to refinance?⁣
⁣
While it is possible to refinance at any time, you'll probably want to make sure you’ll come out on top financially. 😅⁣
⁣
Refinancing can bring costs on your old loan, including discharge fees.⁣
⁣
Not to mention costs on the new loan - like application fees.⁣
⁣
That’s why it’s worth giving us a call. 📞⁣
⁣
We’ll crunch the numbers to see if refinancing would be beneficial to you, or if there's any extra costs you're not factoring in - not to mention loan features you'd be missing out on.⁣

🏡 How to make an offer on a home 🏡⁣
⁣
Making an offer isn’t as easy as reaching for your wallet.⁣
⁣
Talk to us first to find out your borrowing power and set a buying budget. 💪⁣
⁣
Next, research the market to get a feel for local property values. 🏘️⁣
⁣
Even if you think the property is fairly priced, you can always try for a discount.⁣
⁣
CoreLogic says the current median discount is about 3.4%. That could potentially save you a bit of money on the final purchase price.⁣
⁣
Put any offers in writing to show you’re a serious buyer. 📝⁣

😮 Skipping pre-approval sees 1-in-10 first home buyers miss out 😮⁣
⁣
It’s not unusual for first home buyers to miss out on their dream property.⁣
⁣
A Finder survey shows 3 in 5 have been beaten to homes – often because they’re outbid by another buyer.⁣
⁣
But over one in ten (11%) have lost out because they didn’t have home loan pre-approval. 🤔⁣
⁣
Pre-approval could allow you to act faster, and negotiate (or bid) with confidence knowing you have the green light for a loan.⁣
⁣
It can also give first home buyers a competitive edge for time-sensitive property sales. ⏳⁣
⁣
Call us to know how pre-approval can help seal the deal and beat other buyers to the punch. 👇⁣

🐶 The price of loyalty has doubled 🐶⁣
⁣
Get this: the average monthly home loan repayment amount has almost doubled in the last ten years.⁣
⁣
It's gone up from $2,214 in 2015 to $4,383 in 2025, in no small part due to rising property values. 📈⁣
⁣
Similarly, the potential interest savings on refinancing has more than doubled to $373 per month, according to Mozo.⁣
⁣
That’s a potential saving of $4,400 each year - just from switching to a new lender.⁣
⁣
Contact us to find out if you could save on interest each month. 👇⁣

😅 Is COMO the new FOMO? 😅⁣
⁣
CoreLogic says home prices could rise 5.8% nationally over the year ahead.⁣
⁣
That’s seeing home buyer FOMO (fear of missing out) evolve into COMO (compromise or miss out), according to Domain.⁣
⁣
A little compromise can sometimes pay off. 🤝⁣
⁣
Opting for an apartment rather than a house, looking a little further out than your preferred suburb, or maybe compromising on the number of bedrooms, could help you find an affordable home that ticks most of your goals. ✅⁣
⁣
It’s about connection, not perfection.⁣
⁣
Call us to find out your borrowing power. It can be the starting point to finding your next home. 👇⁣

🏡 Investors are taking out 1 in 3 new loans 🏡⁣
⁣
Forget the winter chills. Property is running hot for investors right now. 🔥⁣
⁣
Investors accounted for over one-third of Westpac’s new loans during the past year.⁣
⁣
And ABS data shows investment loans are up 9% over the last 12 months.⁣
⁣
There’s plenty to tempt investors.⁣
⁣
CoreLogic expects property prices to keep rising. 📈⁣
⁣
Vacancy rates are still wafer thin – just 1.2% nationally, according to SQM Research.⁣
⁣
And some lenders have recently cut rates on investment loans.⁣
⁣
Interested in becoming a property investor yourself? ⁣
⁣
Give us a call and we'll help you explore funding strategies that could make it happen. 👇⁣

🏡 1 in 2 first home buyers use LMI to buy sooner 🏡⁣
⁣
As home prices continue to rise, close to half (48%) of recent first home buyers paid for lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) to help them buy sooner rather than later, according to Helia statistics.⁣
⁣
LMI can apply if you buy a home with less than a 20% deposit (and haven't tapped into the First Home Guarantee scheme).⁣
⁣
It’s a one-off insurance premium that protects the lender if a borrower can’t repay their loan. ⁣
⁣
But without paying LMI, you may have to wait until you’ve saved a bigger deposit to buy a place. 🙃⁣
⁣
The risk is that by then, home prices may have climbed even higher.⁣
⁣
Talk to us to understand how LMI could help you beat rising property prices, or if you're eligible for the federal government's First Home Guarantee scheme. 👇⁣

🏡 Home owners opt to leave repayment amounts unchanged after rate cut 🏡⁣
⁣
Here's an interesting stat that caught our eye.⁣
⁣
The Commonwealth Bank (which accounts for 1 in 4 Australian home loans) says only 14% of its variable rate customers reduced their minimum monthly repayment amount following the February 2025 rate cut.⁣
⁣
The majority simply stayed with their old repayment amount. 🧐⁣
⁣
Sure, these stats are from just one lender. And other lenders automatically decrease your minimum monthly repayment amount in line with their rate cuts.⁣
⁣
But if your finances can handle it, leaving your repayment amount unchanged following a rate cut could be one way to pay more off your loan each month. 👍⁣
⁣
Over time, those additional payments can have a decent impact on the total amount of interest you pay over the life of your loan, and help you pay off your loan sooner.⁣
⁣
Call us to know how much you could save by leaving your repayments on hold when rates fall. 👇⁣

🤔 Mythbuster: does paying more often pay off an offset loan sooner? 🤔⁣
⁣
Making repayments more frequently could help you pay off a standard home loan sooner.⁣
⁣
But what if you have an offset account? 🧐⁣
⁣
Well, that’s when the key to getting ahead is maximising the balance in your offset account - not the frequency of your repayments.⁣
⁣
Every day that your money is sitting in the offset account is another day you pay less interest on the account.⁣
⁣
So, if you want to pay off your offset account home loan sooner, your focus should be on boosting the balance in your offset account for as long as possible - not repayment frequency.⁣
⁣
Still confused? Get in touch and we'll be happy to run you through it some more. 👇⁣

🏚️ 4 in 5 homeowners are apparently skipping home maintenance 🏚️⁣
⁣
They say home is where the heart is, but it seems many aren't putting their heart into their home. ⁣
⁣
84% of homeowners are falling behind on their home maintenance, according to Allianz. 😮⁣
⁣
Here are 3 key areas they recommend home owners focus on:⁣
⁣
1. Regularly check flexi hoses to avoid water damage.⁣
2. Clear debris from your roof and gutters to prevent drainage issues⁣
3. Check the bathroom for signs of leaks.⁣
⁣
Short on funds to carry out maintenance?⁣
⁣
Your home equity could be one potential source. Get in touch to find out whether it could help keep your home in shape. 👇⁣

🤔 Could your credit card impact your home-buying plans? 🤔⁣
⁣
Your credit card may be small in size. ⁣
⁣
But it could still have a big impact on your home buying plans if you have one, or multiple, credit cards with a high credit limit.⁣
⁣
That's because when lenders assess your borrowing power they tend to look at your credit card limit – not the current card balance.⁣
⁣
The bigger the credit limit, the bigger the potential impact on the amount that you can borrow. 😅⁣
⁣
And that applies for each credit card you or your partner have open - even if the amount you owe is $0.⁣
⁣
So what could you do? 🧐⁣
⁣
Well, if you’re not planning to use your card’s full limit, you could consider lowering it (or even closing the account completely).⁣
⁣
This could increase your borrowing power and potentially get you over the line for the home loan of your choice. 👍⁣
