On this Australian Property Podcast Australia’s #1 Mortgage Broker Chris Bates sits down with Buyers Advocate Amy Lunardi to discuss:
– The different phases of buying: saving, getting a mortgage, research and active buying phase
– How long does it normally take for each stage? Don’t compare yourself to others
– Why would you want to do it faster? No rush but could be wanting to get into own home faster, out of the rental market, family reasons, lifestyle priorities, reduced stress with a drawn out process, during active buying phase – less emotional and time cost. Overarching advice though is that there is NO RUSH, but if it is a goal you should be proactive
– Savings phase tips (more income, less spending!)
– Mortgage phase tips (inc government schemes/grants)
– Research phase tips, timing the market – Active buying tips. How to know if you’re on the right path. Mistakes to avoid
