💳 The BNPL trap: how it could impact your home loan application 💳⁣
⁣
Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) may be quick and convenient, but it could affect your home loan application and/or credit rating. 🏡⁣
⁣
That's because every time you apply for BNPL, it may trigger a credit check. 🔍⁣
⁣
And too many credit checks can affect your credit score and be a red flag for lenders. 🚩⁣
⁣
Late or missed BNPL payments can also be reported, which could reduce your credit score even further. ⁣
⁣
Talk to us to know how BNPL could impact your loan application. 👇⁣

🏡 Property listings climb higher, FOMO dials down 🏡⁣
⁣
Things are looking up for homebuyers, reports Domain. 📈⁣
⁣
Not so long ago FOMO (fear of missing out) was a driving force in the housing market. 😬⁣
⁣
Today, new listings are up - while property prices in many parts of the country have plateaued (or even dipped).⁣
⁣
That means buyers could have more negotiating power, and seller discounts are on the rise. ⁣
⁣
It’s a trifecta that could see the stars align for your homebuying plans. ⭐⁣
⁣

📉 Lenders cut rates as competition heats up 📉⁣
⁣
There’s a “rate war brewing”, according to Canstar. ⁣
⁣
A rising tide of lenders have cut their variable loan and short term fixed rates recently. ⁣
⁣
The catch? ⚠️⁣
⁣
Lower rates are usually reserved for new customers. 💡⁣
⁣
The solution? 🤝⁣
⁣
Refinancing could see you become a new customer, and benefit from a more competitive loan rate. ⁣

🏡 Could your tax refund help wipe years off your home loan? 🏡⁣
⁣
The average tax-agent prepared tax refund is $3,550, according to H&R Block. ⁣
⁣
Those extra funds could potentially help you pay off your mortgage sooner.⁣
⁣
That’s because 100% of additional lump sum payments reduce your home loan principal. 📉⁣
⁣
In turn, that lowers the total amount of interest you're charged each month thereafter.⁣
⁣
So more of each of your following monthly repayments work harder to pay down the loan balance. 📊⁣
⁣
Call us to know how to put your tax refund to work lowering your home loan. 👇⁣

🏡 What's the ideal age to move out and buy your own home? 🏡⁣
⁣
Research by Finder shows most Australians believe that by age 31 it’s well and truly time to fly the nest.⁣
⁣
That’s not far off age 33 - the average age for first homebuyers (CommBank data). 🙌⁣
⁣
Living with mum and dad throughout your 20s can have its advantages though, such as saving up more for a first home deposit.⁣
⁣
And there are even federal government schemes, such as the First Home Super Saver Scheme, that can help boost those savings.⁣
⁣
