Not a bad place to call home over the next 12 months while we build the farm!

Sussex Inlet is overflowing with natural gems. Lake, river, canals, beaches, whatever calls your name.

Large areas are being developed with new estates and loads of potential over the next decade. It's already got a thriving CBD and I haven't found a restaurant or cafe I didn't love yet!

End of an era ✨

This week I finally sold my family home, and moved into a rental in Sussex Inlet while we build our next dream over the next 12 months.

Saying goodbye to the home we built in our 20s, the home that cocooned us through some really tough times, the home that provided comfort and watched us all grow over a decade - not gonna lie, it was emotional.

I wish everyone got to experience the beauty of this kind of home ownership. The feeling of peaceful shelter. I'm so grateful for the opportunities that it gave us, and I hope the new owner finds the same feeling built into its walls.

Excited for this next chapter, getting to know Sussex Inlet for the next year! We continue to take online appointments so it doesn't matter where you are, we'll see you there 😉

Endless starry night, and a chilly sunrise with magical dew drops and dragon breath. No better way to spend a long weekend! Back to reality tomorrow ✨

Externals are locked and loaded. Huge day ahead making the decisions for the internals. But each choice brings us one step closer to our dream!

This is a quick post for anyone who hasn't seen this going around already. I came across this personally today on a legitimate Australian website, and thankfully had seen an alert that it is a scam and can result in malware running on your device.

For some, this might be obvious. For others, unless you've been made aware, it could be easy to function on auto and miss this.

Please share with any friends or family that may be vulnerable to a scam like this.

Open Homes can be exciting, but they can also be a fast way to fall in love with a property that doesn't actually fit your situation.

The best buyers do a bit of groundwork first. Understanding your budget, your timeline and what matters most for your lifestyle and future plans.

Once those pieces are clear, the decision making becomes a lot easier and a lot less emotional.

Which usually leads to better choices in the long run.

Most people think budgeting means cutting out everything fun.

But real adulting is just choosing what actually matters to you.

Maybe that means making coffee at home most days so you can enjoy a proper brunch with your friends once a month.

Maybe it's skipping a few impulse buys so you can build up your safety buffer.

Your fun-stuff spending probably takes up a bigger chunk of your budget than you realise.

The trick isn't becoming a hermit. It's simply deciding what you value most, and spending intentionally.

Property is a long-term commitment.

Markets rise, stall, and sometimes fall.

If your plan only works when prices rise quickly, it's not really a plan.

One thing my clients hear me say on repeat.. "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"!

Just because the bank says you can borrow a million dollars, doesn't mean you should.

Just because you can buy a 5 bed mcmansion, doesn't mean you should.

Just because you can access your equity for a holiday, doesn't mean you should.

You get my drift?

Sometimes it's obvious, and sometimes it's more subtle.

It's easy to get distracted by shiny things, or well-meaning advice from friends, family or strangers.

But at the heart of your strategy should be your goals and your values, and they are so unique to you.

Know what you want, and seek advice and guidance from a professional with experience.

After a decade of calling this place my home, I'm in the process of selling to upgrade to our dream farm.

We built to the budget we had in our 20s, and it's provided for us in more ways than one.

It was never perfect, but it was perfect for that stage of our lives.

If we'd waited to be able to afford perfect the first time, we'd be in a totally different financial position.

The scary part is, with a median house price over $1M in NSW, and average growth at 5% p.a, every year you stay out of the market can cost you more than what you can save in that time.

Having your foot in the market gives you freedom to breathe, plan ahead, and get your next step ready.
