What “ready to buy” actually looks like...
A question we hear often from first home buyers is:
“How do I know if I’m ready to buy?”
It’s a good question, because readiness isn’t just about saving a deposit.
In most cases, being ready to buy a home means:
• You have a deposit in place
• You’ve looked into government schemes you may be eligible for
• You have a rough purchase price or budget in mind
• Your income and expenses support a home loan
This is where many first home buyers feel unsure.
Not because they’re far off, but because they don’t have a clear view of how lenders assess their situation.
At Oren Mortgages, we specialise in helping first home buyers understand exactly where they stand.
If you’re unsure where you’re at, starting with the right information can make things clearer.
