The current property cool down makes it the perfect time to team up with a local buyers’ agent.

For all sorts of reasons, homeowners may prefer to sell quietly rather than a massive public marketing campaign. Engaging a buyers’ agent can give you an advantage right now. They have direct access to “off-market” properties, homes you won’t find online, where vendors are often highly motivated to lock in a discreet, hassle-free sale, sometimes at a price well below the market expectation.

Food for thought. 🤔

If you already own a property and you’re bursting at the seams, maybe you need an extra bedroom for a growing family, a bigger backyard, or a better school catchment, a quieter market is actually the perfect time to make your move.

A lot of people make the mistake of waiting for the absolute peak of the market to sell their current home. But they forget that the bigger, better house they want to buy will also be at an all-time high.

As a first home buyer, one of the best tools you can have right now is a solid, fully assessed pre-approval. When a seller wants a clean, reliable deal, a buyer who already has their finance sorted moves straight to the front of the queue.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has today increased the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4.60%.

While headline inflation eased to 3.5% in July 2026, underlying inflation remains stubborn with trimmed mean inflation held at 3.6%, above the RBA's 2–3% target range.

Two main factors are keeping pressure on prices. Rising global energy costs are flowing through to the price of other goods and services, and the RBA has signalled the jobs market is still adding to wage and business costs - despite unemployment edging up to 4.6%.

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the property market over the last few years, you already know it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. Sky-high demand, chaotic open homes, and runaway prices left a lot of local buyers feeling completely priced out or just exhausted by the whole process.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a breather, this is how the current market cool-down and the changing rate environment could play directly into your hands....

Did you know a 20% home loan deposit isn't the only way to get a foot on the property ladder?

Government schemes like the First Home Guarantee, Family Home Guarantee and Help to Buy let eligible buyers purchase with a deposit as low as 2-5%, without paying LMI - often saving $10,000 to $40,000 upfront. For eligible families, that could mean getting into a home years earlier than they thought was possible.

Your minimum home loan repayment is just that - the minimum.

If you have a little room in your budget, paying more than the minimum could help you pay off your home loan sooner. You could round up your repayments, add a small amount each week or make an extra payment when you have some spare cash. Over time, those additional payments can reduce your loan balance and the amount of interest charged.

There’s no need to stretch your budget. The right amount is one that works for you and your circumstances.

In the June 2026 quarter, mortgage brokers facilitated a record 81.6% of all new residential home loans in Australia (Cotality).

That's not a small majority. That's most Australians choosing to have someone in their corner - someone who can lay out their options, explain what they actually mean, and open the door to more competition and choice.
