FHBA Weekend Preview: Auction activity up
FHBA Weekend Preview: 18 – 19 February 2017
With most property markets starting the year strong (see this week’s FHBA Market Update) there will be a jump in the amount of actions held this weekend according to CoreLogic RP Data: 2,136 registered auctions, up from 1,591 held last week, including:
- Melbourne- 1,005
- Sydney – 807
- Brisbane- 112
- Adelaide- 84
- Canberra – 80
- Perth – 41
The amount of auctions being held in Melbourne is almost double the previous week. With such a large increase it will be intriguing to see if all properties sell strongly or whether they are some buying opportunities for savvy first-timers. We will share the results with you this coming Monday in our weekly FHBA Market Update.

Loan Pre-Approval
Planning on going house hunting 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 charge loan pre-approval speak to an FHBA Broker from FHBA Mortgages today
