ποΈ More Australians are looking to build wealth through property ποΈβ£
β£
Two in five Aussies plan to buy an investment property in the next 12 months. πβ£
β£
Thatβs the finding of a recent Great Southern Bank survey. π¦β£

Itβs all part of a drive by Australian families to shore up their long term financial wellbeing. π°β£

Better still, home owners may be able to use their home equity in place of a cash deposit on a rental property. π‘β£

β±οΈ Want to cut up to 5 years off your first home deposit saving time? β±οΈβ£
β£
As property prices head north, saving a traditional 20% deposit can be a serious challenge. β£
β£
But, there may be a short cut for many first home buyers.β£
β£
A Domain report reveals the 5% Deposit Scheme can help Sydney first home buyers get into the market up to 5 years and 7 months earlier. π‘β£
β£
For Brisbane and Adelaide first homebuyers, the scheme can cut over four years off the time taken to save a deposit. πβ£
β£
In every other capital, the 5% Deposit Scheme can see first homebuyers bring forward their plans by more than three years. β©β£
β£
Call us to see if the 5% Deposit Scheme could help you get into the property market sooner. πβ£

π€ Broker versus bot? Itβs no contest π€β£
β£
The person-to-person support of a mortgage broker eclipses anything an AI bot can dish up. π€β£
β£
Thatβs the finding of Great Southern Bank research. πβ£
β£
It confirms 7-in-10 Australians say guidance from mortgage brokers is more valuable than AI-generated advice. πβ£
β£
Financial decisions like buying a home are long term and complex. π‘β£
β£
Thatβs why we stay in touch to see how your home loan is shaping up. πβ£
β£

π Could your home loan pre-approval be out of date? π
Mortgage pre-approval can potentially be an advantageous move for home buyers. π‘
But recent rate hikes could leave your pre-approval in need of an update.
Not only does pre-approval have a limited time span, usually 3β6 months, but it can also be impacted by rising rates. β±οΈ
Canstar says just one 0.25% rate cut can reduce a single home buyerβs borrowing power by $12,000.
That means a couple's borrowing power could have been reduced by more than $72,000 since the three cash rate hikes earlier this year. β οΈ
The last thing you need is to discover you canβt finance the place you want to buy because of higher rates.
Talk to us to bring your loan pre-approval up to date - and potentially find ways to improve your borrowing power. π

π Is buying an investment property earlier the key to building wealth? π
Regrets? One-in-three Aussie investors say they regret not investing earlier. π¬
And perhaps for good reason...
Finder research shows people who started investing in their 30s are 46% wealthier than those who waited until their 40s.
Thatβs because investment returns can compound over time. π
Just look at property: 45% gains in the last five years alone!
And while past performance is not an indication of future performance, historically speaking, the national property market has delivered consistent long-term growth.π‘
Of course, with all things investment related, it may be worth seeking advice from a financial adviser to consider all your options.
But if you do decide to invest in property, consider contacting us to explore your investment loan options. π

π‘ Home loan demand has just hit a 3-year high π‘β£
β£
Equifax reports demand for home loans rose 18% in December compared to the same time the previous year. πβ£
β£
Itβs the biggest one month surge since 2022. β£
β£
What was behind the increased appetite for home loans? π€β£
β£
Two key factors: three rate cuts in 2025, and the expanded 5% Deposit Scheme. β£
β£
The government's 5% Deposit Scheme lets first home buyers get started with a small deposit and zero lenders mortgage insurance. β£
β£
It could be the helping hand youβve been waiting for. Get in touch to find out if youβre eligible. πβ£

π Lock in: itβs a competitive market for buyers right now πβ£
β£
The supply of listed homes increased 3.1% in January 2026, according to SQM research. πβ£
β£
But listings are still 11% lower compared to a year ago. πβ£
β£
So, on average, new homes are selling after just 28 days on the market, according to NAB's latest Housing Monitor report. β£
β£
Having all your ducks in a row can help provide you with a competitive edge. π¦β£
β£
Home loan pre-approval could allow you to act faster when the right property comes along. β£
β£
It could also help you bid with confidence at auctions. π¨β£
β£
And it can also let sellers (and the agent) know youβre a serious buyer. β£
β£
Get in touch today to discuss your borrowing power and pre-approval options. πβ£

π The affordability of an extra train stop πβ£
β£
βI love the daily commuteβ, said (almost) no one ever. π
β£
β£
But PropTrack says their research show that house hunters could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by buying in suburbs that are one extra train stop from the city. β£
β£
Itβs not about buying a train wreck of a home. ποΈβ£
β£
It's about trying to buy a more affordable one.β£
β£
After all, a more affordable home usually equates to a more affordable mortgage - and that's where we can help out further. πβ£

π How to potentially wind back the February rate hike πβ£
β£
Donβt get mad, get even. πͺβ£
β£
The RBAβs 0.25% February cash rate hike could see home owners with a $600,000 variable rate mortgage pay an extra $90 in monthly repayments. β£
β£
But you donβt have to just cop the rate hike on the chin and not do anything about it. β£
β£
Thereβs still a considerable variation in home loan rates between lenders - so you could possibly give yourself a rate cut of your own. πβ£
β£
Switching to a lower rate home loan could potentially reverse the February rate hike for you.β£
β£
If it's been a while since you paid attention to your home loan rate, now could be a good time for a home loan health check. π©Ίβ£
β£
Call us to find out the rate youβre paying β and whether you could save on monthly interest by switching. πβ£
