⏳ How hard does the market usually bounce back after a downturn?⏳⁣
⁣
Waiting for property prices to hit a cyclical low could potentially work against home buyers. 🏡⁣
⁣
Domain research shows prices have risen 32% on average after each of the eight past downturns. 📊⁣
⁣
If the market dips now, buyers could potentially purchase a house at a good price. ⁣
⁣
But if you wait too long, the market could pick up again and you could be purchasing when buyer competition is fierce. ⁣
⁣
Being prepared is key. Speak to us today about pre-approval and get started on your property journey. 👇⁣

🏡 Strategies that can help clear your mortgage by retirement 🏡⁣
⁣
One-in-three Gen Xs expect that they'll still be paying off a home loan in retirement, according to a Citro/AMP report.⁣
⁣
But there are ways to potentially clear the slate sooner. 💡⁣
⁣
Refinancing could see you save with a lower rate (just try not to extend the home loan term). ⁣
⁣
An offset account can also put spare funds to work by reducing the interest charged on your home loan each month.⁣
⁣
Meanwhile, making consistent extra repayments more often can help chip away at the loan balance. 📉⁣
⁣
Call us for more tips to potentially be mortgage-free by the time you retire. 👇⁣

🏡 1-in-3 home buyers rely on the bank of mum and dad 🏡⁣
⁣
That's the latest survey data from Compare the Market.⁣
⁣
But beware: lenders may check that financial support is a gift, not a loan to be repaid. ⚠️⁣
⁣
Otherwise it may reduce your borrowing capacity. 📉⁣
⁣
And banks still want to be sure you can comfortably manage loan repayments. 🏡⁣
⁣
Speak to us first to find out how mum and dad can potentially lend a helping hand - without leading to hiccups during your loan application. 👇⁣

💳 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. ⭐⁣
⁣
