The benefits of buying

It's been a hot topic in the press, and for some, it's a harsh reality.  The fact is that renting in Sydney is hard work.  There's not enough property, too many people looking and it's expensive.  When you finally find the perfect place - everyone else loves it too - so you fill in the application and cross your fingers and wait... and wait...


Wouldn't it be easier to buy your own place?


That's what Matt Sommerville thought, and at 31 with a 20% deposit, he fits the profile of an average first home buyer.  Read more

It's the Year of the Unit

An interesting article from SMH claims that the shining light in the Sydney property market for 2012 is apartments. New or old, they are performing better than houses over the past 5 years recording an average annual growth of 5.2 percent compared to 3.6 per cent for houses.  Read more

Christmas present from the RBA

Great news from the RBA yesterday with a rate cut of .25%, bringing our cash rate down to the levels it hasn't seen since April 2009. Check out what the media is saying...

This is just one more reason to buy property now!  Rates are great, the banks are competitive, there are some good properties on the market with vendors keen to sell before Christmas.

If you're a First Home Buyer - if you exchange contracts on an established property by 31 December 2011, you will still be entitled to the stamp duty concessions available from the State Government - which could save you up to $18,000.  In the new year from 1 January this will end!  So don't miss out - buy now!

It's never been a better time to buy!

A call to action for first home buyers!

You've got this month only to enter into a contract to purchase a property, or you will have to pay stamp duty from 1 January on an established property.

That is $18,000 on a $500,000 purchase, which we would much prefer going towards the purchase of your property than giving it to the tax man courtesy of the NSW State Government.

With stamp duty exemptions ending, prices are bound to increase as demand builds and the banks are competitive - so if you haven't already started serious house hunting, start now!

Call us on 02 9212 2275 or email to make sure your finance is in order so that you can confidently negotiate or bid at auction, knowing that everything is in place for you to finalise your purchase.
