FHBA Weekend Preview: 8 – 9 April 2017
As we reported earlier this week, property prices have commenced 2017 by rising further on 2016 gains, in most capital cities. With the Easter Long Weekend coming up next week and Anzac Day weekend coming up later this month, many sellers have decided to hold auctions this weekend. According to CoreLogic there is 3,275 auctions scheduled around the country this weekend (see a breakdown of those locations below).
For those who are commencing their property search, FHBA co-founder Taj Singh said you will have to be patience. “The auctions being held this weekend would have had open inspections throughout March. But many people thinking of selling now could wait until the Easter & Anzac period is over. Also, the Federal Budget in May, where housing affordability could be on the agenda, could be a reason why sellers hold off for a short period. If you are a first home buyer, you should be patient. There will likely be less property to inspect and choose from over the coming period. It’s important not to rush and pay overs on a property”.
If new property is more of your thing, make sure you check out FHBA New Homes of the Week below. This week we take a look 5 great display home options.

House hunting with confidence
Planning on going house hunting soon but don’t know whether a bank will lend you enough funds to buy your first home yet? You should get a no obligation loan pre-approval.
A loan pre-approval provides you with a written guidance of how much a particular bank is willing to lend to you. Loan pre-approvals come with no obligations to proceed, leaving you in control and importantly, attending open homes knowing what your borrowing capacity and budget is.
To organise a no cost loan pre-approval speak to an FHBA Broker from FHBA Mortgages today
