🌳 Is a bush or bay change on your bucket list? 🏝 ⁣
⁣
A surging number of city-slickers are heading to the bush or bay, latest CommBank research shows. ⁣
⁣
Metro to regional relocations are now 20% higher than pre-Covid. 😮⁣
⁣
Part of the appeal is affordability. ⁣
⁣
National regional home prices are $626,000 on average, compared to $864,000 across state capitals. 🤔⁣
⁣
That’s a potential saving of $238,000. 👍⁣
⁣
That can also translate to a $1300-$1600 difference in home loan repayments each month, depending on the loan term, interest rate and deposit amount (wouldn't that be nice?).⁣
⁣
So if you’re hankering for a home among the gum trees, talk to us about a tree or sea change home loan. 👇⁣

🤔 Could BNPL be a roadblock for your home purchase? 🤔⁣
⁣
Two-in-five Australians now use buy now pay later (BNPL) services, according to Finder. ⁣
⁣
But if you’re a prospective home buyer it might be worth going easy on BNPL. 🙃⁣
⁣
Owing money on BNPL could see a lender scale back your borrowing power. 😮⁣
⁣
You may even be asked to close BNPL accounts as part of getting loan approval. ⁣
⁣
If you're currently house hunting and owe money on one or several BNPL accounts, give us a call and we can help you get your finances home loan ready. 👇⁣

🏔 One-in-three of borrowers are still to face the mortgage cliff 🏔⁣
⁣
It’s not over just yet...⁣
⁣
Over one-third of the low-rate fixed loans from 2022 will roll over to variable rates this year, says the RBA. 😮⁣
⁣
If that sounds like you, it might be time to start planning ahead.⁣
⁣
✅ Know how your repayments could change: we can explain likely loan repayments after your fixed-rate period ends.⁣
✅ Give your budget an overhaul: cutting back on non-essentials can free up extra cash and help build a buffer.⁣
✅ Skip loyalty tax: many lenders offer attractive rates to new customers. Refinancing could help you save with a lower rate.⁣
✅ Last but not least, talk to us: we can help you prepare for the end of your fixed-rate home loan.⁣

🚨 Investor alert: rental property claims on the ATO radar 🚨⁣
⁣
Landlords, look out! 😮⁣
⁣
The Australian Tax Office is warning that rental property claims are under the spotlight this year. 🔦⁣
⁣
It follows a review showing 9 out of 10 landlords are getting their tax returns wrong. 😬⁣
⁣
So what do you have to watch out for in particular this year? 🤔⁣
⁣
Repairs and maintenance costs will be closely reviewed. 🏚⁣
⁣
The tax man will also be looking for inflated expenses to offset increased rental income. 🧐⁣
⁣
If you think this might be the year to start using a tax agent, get in touch and we'll put you in touch with someone we trust. 👇⁣

🤔 What happened to the predicted 2024 rate cuts? 🤔⁣
⁣
Interest rates don’t look like heading south any time soon. 🙃⁣
⁣
It’s all thanks to inflation, which is sitting stubbornly just above the Reserve Bank’s target range of 2-3%*.⁣
⁣
Chances are we won’t see any cash rate cuts for home loans until at least early 2025 (and some pundits are now saying a hike might now come before a cut). 😤⁣
⁣
But don’t let that stop you from taking action of your own. 👍⁣
⁣
We’re still seeing a big difference in rates across lenders.⁣
⁣
Better still, rising property values may mean you’re in a great position to refinance. 👇⁣

🧐 What does buying a home ‘subject to finance’ mean? 🧐⁣
⁣
Seen a place you love but not sure if you’ll get a home loan? 🤔⁣
⁣
Making an offer ‘subject to finance’ can buy valuable breathing space. 👍⁣
⁣
It means you could walk away from a purchase with your deposit intact if you can’t land a home loan. ⁣
⁣
The catch? 🎣⁣
⁣
The seller doesn’t have to go along with a sale that’s subject to finance - and there's a reasonable chance they won't if you're buying in a seller's market. 🙃⁣
⁣
Another option you can consider is lining up home loan pre-approval before making an offer on a property. 🙌⁣
⁣
If you'd like to find out more about pre-approval, call us today. 👇⁣
