Are you planning on buying a new home? Buying a home is a smart financial move but you need to make the right decisions about the home you buy, the mortgage you apply for, the professionals (home builders, conveyancers, mortgage brokers, etc.) you work with and so much more. This includes saving for the deposit, which for many Australians is the greatest challenge of all. However, it’s worth noting that around 70% of Australians own property and so can you. In fact this current low interest rate environment means now is a great time to buy.
