There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about affordability of home loans, particularly interest only loans. Whilst there are benefits of paying interest and principle, there also are benefits of interest only loans - particularly for investors due to the tax benefits offered. Interest only loans do have special conditions, they often [...]
My name is Justine Bennett and I just have to tell you about my experience with Love Home Loans. I've been working with Michael for the past five years - helping him with his marketing and all kinds of things. I'm writing this newsletter without him knowing, so ssshhh - don't tell him! I've always [...]
As you probably heard yesterday, the official cash rate remains unchanged, but as we've seen over the last 3-5 years, lenders interest rates have not always moved in line with the RBA cash rate due to cost of funds. It does suggest that there is a bit more stability in the economy, although we would [...]
What a busy start to the year! The auction season kicked off last weekend with record numbers of homes going under the hammer, with good supply and demand. As Aussies, we love nothing more than putting our earnings into bricks and mortar - either to live in ourselves or as an investment. We understand that [...]
Happy New Year! We hope you've had a great start to the year and have had some time to reflect on all that you achieved during 2016, and also think about what you want in 2017. There's a lot of talk of the doom and gloom of 2016, and it was a year that we did [...]
It's that time of year again - the time that you either love or hate. I love it! My tree is decorated - actually my whole house is decorated any I have a new life goal. I want to be listed here! Christmas and summer holidays are such a great opportunity to catch up with [...]
The property market, particularly in Sydney, has gone a bit nuts. It's been that way for a while now. And, for many first home buyers, this must be getting pretty disheartening because you're probably wondering how on earth you'll ever get your foot in the door. But don't despair, you might just need to expand your [...]
There's been lots reported on recently that is of interest to home buyers, so I thought I'd sum it up for you as best I can... Auction clearance rates are consistently up over 80%, which is the highest they've been all year, and significantly higher than the same time last year when they were just over [...]
The spring real estate season has arrived! This is the time that most property owners decide to sell and buyers are motivated to buy. The weather has warmed up, people are thinking of new beginnings and wanting to get settled before summer. And Australians (particularly east coasters) love an auction. It’s a great way for [...]
I've just returned from my holiday which included a few days in London where I thought I'd do a little bit of research on the property market. I was shocked! We're always complaining about property prices in Sydney, with many people believing that they're priced out of the market - but we're nothing compared to [...]
