Two in five Aussies plan to buy an investment property in the next 12 months. 📊⁣

That’s the finding of a recent Great Southern Bank survey. 🏦⁣

It’s all part of a drive by Australian families to shore up their long term financial wellbeing. 💰⁣

And property has plenty going for it: the potential for strong price growth, enticing rental yields, and possible tax savings. 🏡⁣

Is a new build right for you?

Along with the pleasure of living in a brand new home, there can be a cost saving to a newly built place.

Analysis by Compare the Market found it’s normal for the cost to buy to be more expensive than building.

Other costs such as stamp duty can also increase the cost of an established home.

Bear in mind though, building takes time, and construction doesn’t always go to schedule. It’s not a bad idea to budget for a few unexpected costs such as possible delays due to weather.

⏱️ Want to cut up to 5 years off your first home deposit saving time? ⏱️

As property prices head north, saving a traditional 20% deposit can be a serious challenge.

But, there may be a short cut for many first home buyers.

A Domain report reveals the 5% Deposit Scheme can help Sydney first home buyers get into the market up to 5 years and 7 months earlier. 🏡

For Brisbane and Adelaide first homebuyers, the scheme can cut over four years off the time taken to save a deposit. 📊

In every other capital, the 5% Deposit Scheme can see first homebuyers bring forward their plans by more than three years. ⏩

Call us to see if the 5% Deposit Scheme could help you get into the property market sooner.

🏡 How much do you really need to buy a first home? 🏡⁣

Long gone are the days when you needed to save up a full 20% deposit (plus extra for other expenses!).⁣

These days, you could need a deposit of just 5%, or even 2% if you’re a single parent, to buy a first home. 💰⁣

For a $700,000 first home, a 5% deposit is $35,000.⁣

Better yet, you may also be eligible for stamp duty exemptions/concessions or first home buyer grants.⁣

Don’t forget to factor in other upfront expenses though. ⚠️⁣

Legal fees, home insurance, stamp duty, and furniture removalists can all add up. 📦⁣

Need help crunching the numbers and figuring out how much you could borrow? That's our specialty.
