πŸ πŸ“ˆπŸ’° Wondering when the right time to buy property is? As mortgage brokers, we get this question a lot. While waiting for prices to fall might seem like the smart move, there are several factors to consider.

First, interest rates play a big role in property prices. When rates are low, borrowing capacity goes up, and demand increases. But now that rates have risen, borrowing capacity has fallen, making it harder to buy even if prices have dropped.

Second, national and state prices don't tell the whole story. Prices can vary widely by area and even within suburbs. Keep an eye on local trends and factors like zoning changes or new infrastructure projects.

Finally, your personal circumstances matter. Your borrowing capacity can change depending on your work and family life, so it's best to buy when you're financially stable and able to hold onto the property long term.

In short, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of when to buy property. But with our help as your mortgage broker, we can help you navigate the market and find the right time for you. πŸ’ͺπŸ’°πŸ’Ό

Today we want to talk about something that might be affecting your chances of getting a mortgage - Afterpay and Zip pay.

While these "buy now, pay later" services might seem convenient, they can actually have an impact on your ability to get a home loan. That's because lenders consider all of your existing debts and financial commitments when assessing your mortgage application. This includes any outstanding balances on Afterpay or Zip pay accounts.

If you have a lot of Afterpay or Zip pay debt, this could lower your credit score and make it more difficult to be approved for a mortgage. Lenders want to see that you have a good track record of managing your finances and paying off your debts, and a high level of Afterpay or Zip pay debt can be a red flag.

That's not to say that you can't use Afterpay or Zip pay if you're looking to buy a property - it's all about using them responsibly. Make sure you're only using these services for small purchases that you can pay off quickly, and avoid racking up large amounts of debt.

At Swiftly Finance Mortgage Brokering, we can help you understand the impact of your financial commitments on your mortgage application, and work with you to put together a strong application that meets the lender's criteria. So if you're thinking of buying a property, get in touch with us today to discuss your options!

While a mortgage holiday can provide temporary financial relief and help avoid defaulting on payments, it can also lead to increased interest and long-term financial implications.

Instead, Swiftly Finance offers alternative options, such as negotiating for a lower interest rate, refinancing, or switching to interest-only payments.

🏑 BIG NEWS FOR BORROWERS! 🏑

The Reserve Bank of Australia has announced a 10th consecutive interest rate rise in its bid to drive down inflation. The cash rate has been raised by 25 basis points to 3.6%, the highest level since mid-2012. While the rate is set to rise further, the RBA dropped its reference to needing multiple rises in coming months.

If passed on in full by commercial banks, the cost of additional repayments on a typical $500,000 mortgage will have increased by about $1,000 per month since May.

As an experienced mortgage brokering company, we can help you navigate the changes in interest rates and find the best mortgage solution to suit your needs. Contact us today for a consultation! πŸ€πŸ’°πŸ

πŸ’° Want to pay off your mortgage faster and save on interest charges? Consider switching to weekly or fortnightly payments instead of monthly!

🏠 For example, let's say you have a 30-year mortgage in Australia with a principal loan amount of $500,000 and an interest rate of 3.5% per annum. If you make monthly payments, you would pay off your mortgage in 30 years and end up paying a total of $806,090, including $306,090 in interest charges.

πŸ‘‰ But, if you switch to weekly payments, you could potentially pay off your mortgage in approximately 25 years and 6 months and pay a total of $732,862, including $232,862 in interest charges. That's a potential saving of 4 years and 6 months on your mortgage term and around $73,228 in interest charges!

πŸ’Έ At Swiftly Finance we can help you find the right mortgage plan and repayment strategy that fits your financial goals and lifestyle. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you save on your mortgage!
