No rest for first home buyers this long weekend

FHBA Weekend Preview: 10 – 11 June 2017

Typically, long weekends mean a quiet time for the property market. With most states having a long weekend for the Queen’s Birthday public holiday on Monday the number of open homes and auctions scheduled is lower than most weekends as you would expect. However, according to CoreLogic, there are still more auctions scheduled around the country this weekend than most June long weekends in previous years, including over 500 auctions scheduled for Sydney alone (and Sydney’s Saturday weather forecast is wet and rainy as well!).

So, what does this mean? Well, if you are an active first home buyer in the market it should mean no rest for you! This weekend is a good opportunity to get out there, inspect open homes and observe auctions to see how many active buyers are around in your area.

In other news this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), as widely tipped by property experts, kept the cash rate on hold at a record low 1.50%. You can learn more about RBA’s decision, including their thoughts on the Aussie residential property market, in FHBA News.

Good luck to all first home buyers this weekend!

COMING SOON


House hunt 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 home loan pre-approval! A loan pre-approval provides you written guidance of how much a particular bank is willing to lend to you. A loan pre-approval comes 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 with an FHBA Broker from FHBA Mortgages today
