Word of the Week: Equity 🏑⁠
⁠
You'll hear the word equity a lot when it comes to property, but what does it actually mean?⁠
⁠
Simply put, equity is the difference between what your home is worth and what you still owe on your mortgage.⁠
⁠
As you pay down your loan and your property's value grows, your equity can grow too. It may even help you when it's time to renovate, refinance, or purchase another property.⁠
⁠
Understanding equity is one of the building blocks of long-term property ownership πŸ’™β

If I could give my younger self one piece of financial advice, it would be this...⁠
⁠
Enjoy your 20s. Travel, try new things, change careers if you want to, and figure out who you are.⁠
⁠
But while you’re doing all of that, make sure you’re contributing to KiwiSaver.⁠
⁠
It might not feel important right now, but when the time comes to buy your first home, you’ll be glad you started early. It’s one of the simplest things you can do today that your future self will thank you for.⁠

There are plenty of "rules" floating around when it comes to buying a home... but not all of them are true.

A pre-approval isn't a commitment to buy. You don’t always need 20%. And the "best" mortgage isn't always the one with the lowest interest rate.

The right advice is about understanding your options and finding a solution that works for your goals, your lifestyle, and your long-term financial wellbeing.

Which of these myths have you heard before?

Dreaming of buying a reno job? πŸ”¨

There's nothing wrong with taking on a project, but make sure you're looking at the total cost, not just the purchase price.

Get quotes where you can, build in a buffer for unexpected expenses, and make sure the numbers still work for your budget. Renovations almost always cost more than you think.

A little planning upfront can save a lot of stress later and help you create a home you'll love without stretching yourself too far.

When people think about buying a home, they're usually focused on saving a deposit. But there are a few other costs that are worth planning for too.

From legal fees and building inspections to insurance and moving costs, these expenses can add up, so it's helpful to know what's involved before you start house hunting.

The good news? You don't need to figure it all out on your own.

One of my roles as a mortgage adviser is helping you understand the full picture, so there are fewer surprises along the way and you can move forward with confidence.

If you're thinking about buying your first home or your next one, and you're not sure what costs to budget for, I'd love to help.

Send me a message and let's chat through your options.
