Beat My Home Loan

04/07/2025

For most of us, a home loan is the key to buying property, but there's a fortunate cohort who are paying cash for their new homes.

In the 2024 financial year, 25% of homes were bought without a mortgage in Australia's biggest states, NSW, VIC and QLD.

🌳🌊 Downsizers, treechangers, and seachangers are leading the way, snapping up regional properties without the need for a mortgage.

Saving for a home deposit can feel tough, but little steps make a big difference. Here are 5 tips to help you reach your goal faster:

- Set a budget and stick to it: Track your income and expenses to see where your money is going. Knowing your spending habits helps you find areas to save (and avoids that end-of-month 'Where did it all go?' panic).

- Automate your savings: Set up an automatic transfer into a separate high-interest savings account every payday. This way, you pay yourself first – out of sight, out of mind, and steadily growing!

- Trim small luxuries (within reason): You don’t have to give up your daily coffee forever, but cutting back on non essentials can add up. Maybe it’s fewer Uber Eats orders or cancelling an unused subscription – every $50 a week saved is $2,600 over the course of a year.

- Take advantage of freebies: Check if you’re eligible for first-home buyer grants or schemes. That’s essentially free money or concessions that can boost your deposit or reduce your costs.

- Boost your income if possible: Consider a side gig or sell unused items sitting around the house. Every extra dollar counts and can bring your home ownership dream closer.

Stick with these tips and 'future you' will be glad you did!

Breaking into the property market is no small thing. To qualify for a loan, you usually need a decent-sized deposit, which can be hard to save up for when you're paying rent.

Using a guarantor may make sense for you if:
- You don't have a 20% deposit, and you want to avoid paying that extra insurance (LMI), and
- You have a close family member who's willing to put their own property up as security.

A guarantor can give you the boost up the property ladder you need. And the good news is that once you've built up enough equity in the property, your guarantor can be released from their commitment.

Get in touch if you'd like to understand the ins and outs of how it works, and for tips on how to broach this subject with your potential guarantor.

What's the difference between a property appraisal vs a property valuation?

An appraisal is an estimate of the value of your home. It's usually carried out by a real estate agent to give you an indication of how much the property may be worth.

A valuation, on the other hand, is what you'd need if you were wanting to draw out equity from your home loan. It provides you a detailed report of how much your property is worth, and why. It needs to be carried out by a qualified valuer, and will usually cost between $300-700.

Get in touch if you'd like help understanding how to organise a valuation of your property.
