First Home Buyers - Timing It Right
At Turner Hopkins, we understand that the journey to homeownership is a significant milestone, and for many first home buyers, it can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Recent market trends suggest that now could be a particularly good time to make your move.
Market Conditions Favour First Home Buyers
With a cooling property market, more opportunities are emerging for first-time buyers to secure a home at a competitive price. Property listings have increased, and housing prices in certain areas have stabilized, meaning less competition and more room to negotiate. This shift is providing a rare window for first home buyers to get onto the property ladder without the intense bidding wars that were commonplace just a year ago.
The Importance of Acting Now
As market experts point out, delaying your home purchase could result in missing out on these favorable conditions. Interest rates are currently stable and potentially falling, but economic conditions can change, and any future increase in rates could impact your ability to borrow.
Additionally, with more homes on the market, buyers have a greater selection and more bargaining power. Sellers are often more motivated, particularly if they’ve had properties sitting unsold for a while, which means first home buyers have the chance to secure a deal that works for their budget.
Navigating the Buying Process
While these conditions are promising, buying your first home still comes with complexities. Turner Hopkins is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you understand all the legal aspects of the process, including:
Reviewing sale and purchase agreements
Conducting thorough due diligence such as title checks and LIM reports
Advising on mortgage terms and conditions, including the impact of any fluctuations in interest rates
Ensuring all necessary disclosures have been made by the seller
