Are you a first-home buyer? Then listen up!

Buyer’s agent Amy Lunardi and Rask’s very own first home buyer Melissa Vincent are taking over the show today to talk about the current property buying environment, how to know if your dream home exists and tips for first home buyers saving their deposit.

Thereā€™s so much in the news now with inflation, interest rate hikes & the increase in home prices – it can be confusing and scary to home buyers. Amy & Mel are here to help and give you some insights and tips for saving for your home.

Some of the topics covered:

  • Trends – what things are you seeing with your clients and the markets? How are people feeling? How can we work through all the noise that is happening?
  • Runway time – generally speaking, how long does it take or should it take for someone to go from starting to save, to purchasing?
  • Should someone wait to find the right thing? What if they never find the perfect property? Should you stretch your budget?
  • LMI / 5% / lower deposit
  • What recommendations would you have for someone who is saving for a home but is having trouble staying motivated?
