25.01.2022 Noticed anything strange about used car prices recently? From May to August, used car sale prices jumped anywhere from 6% to 11% on a monthly basis.* This was because of constrained supply due to COVID-19.... However, the good news is that prices could level out soon. Especially if you're after an SUV or ute. That's because in November, price growth was just under 1%, with the truck/ute/SUV segment falling in price slightly. So if you're interested in purchasing a vehicle, give us a call on 0499 831 111, email [email protected] or DM us. * Moody's Analytics #biznerve # biznervefinance #biznervefinancepartners #mortgages #realestate #mortgage #mortgagebroker #refinance #home #mortgagelender #mortgagelife #finance #homeloans #property #investment #homebuying #househunting #mortgagelending #mortgagespecialist See more

25.01.2022 What's the go with those 0% car finance offers? They say that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And that goes for those 0% car finance offers spruiked by dealerships too, because they usually mean buying a car at a higher price than you would pay if purchasing upfront. ... Hidden charges and establishment fees might also be lurking under the bonnet. So how can we do it better? Well, not only is our job to get you a loan with a low rate, but to negotiate on your behalf to ensure you pay a low price for the vehicle. We'll also make sure you're aware of all the relevant fees and charges.

24.01.2022 Five reasons your home loan application might get declined Getting rejected is never nice, especially when you've got your heart set on a new home. Here are five common reasons why home loan applications are declined.... 1. Your credit history has a checkered past. 2. Your spending habits are a little too ... lavish. 3. Your employment situation isn't as stable as the lender would like. 4. You haven't saved a large enough deposit. 5. No proof of genuine savings. If you're thinking of applying for a home loan soon, we'd love to help you get that all-important stamp of approval.

24.01.2022 We’ve all been guilty of the odd credit card mix-up from time to time it happens! But if you’re consistently relying on a personal credit card to pay your business expenses like 4-in-10 SME owners then it’s probably time to explore other funding options.

23.01.2022 Should you be locking in your rate? As with many things in life, it all depends on your individual circumstances and preferences. You might prefer not to lock in a rate if you:... - don’t mind having some unpredictability in your financial planning - are confident interest rates will continue to fall - prefer to go with market rates. On the other hand, you might want to lock in a rate if you: - are concerned you'd be unable to make repayments if rates rise - prefer to plan your finances accurately - won’t suffer from FOMO if rates drop further.

22.01.2022 Trend alert: offset accounts It's not exactly the latest Parisian fashion trend, but Australians have recently been putting more money into their offset accounts.* What is an offset account? It's a transaction account that's linked to a mortgage account and it reduces the interest you pay on your loan. ... That's because you only pay interest on the difference between the amount of money in the account and what's left to pay on your mortgage. So let's say you owe $400,000 on your mortgage, and you have $50,000 in a savings account. If you move the $50,000 into a full offset account, you’ll only pay interest on $350,000.

22.01.2022 Does your business need working capital? You could be in luck - the government has extended (and expanded) the Coronavirus SME Guarantee Scheme to the end of the financial year.

22.01.2022 How long does it take a First Home Buyer to save a deposit? The short answer is around 3 to 6 years, depending on where you want to buy.* If you're just itching to enter the market your best bet is Darwin, where it takes an average 3 years 1 month to save a 20% deposit. In Sydney you'll have to be most patient - waiting about 6 years 6 months to get the cash together. ... But the good news is that wait times are expected to go down, thanks to lower interest rates, reduced investor activity and generous government incentives such as the first home loan deposit scheme.

16.01.2022 With interest rates at record low levels, today we’ll look at a question that many are asking: should I lock in a fixed rate home loan? You may have recently received a call directly from your bank, or seen more ads than usual across the internet spruiking super low fixed-rate mortgages.

15.01.2022 Considering refinancing? Don't forget to prepare for a valuation! Aussies are refinancing in record high numbers at the moment,* which makes it a good time to talk valuations. That's because when you refinance your home loan, your lender will arrange a valuation to estimate what your property is worth. And it's important to be prepared because as many as 1 in 7 home owners* are unsuccessful in refinancing their mortgage because the value of their property has fallen. ... So here are four ways you can prepare for a valuation: 1. Spring clean! Whether you do it yourself, or hire professional cleaners and landscapers, make sure your house's interior and exterior are looking spick and span. 2. List your property’s features: make a list of the best things about your property and give it to the valuer, just in case they miss that newly-installed double garage. 3. Local community developments: share a list of any upcoming community developments, such as a public transport hub or you-beaut bike path. 4. Dig out some paper work: if you have building plans, council rates notices and/or land tax valuations, make them available to the valuer. To discuss refinancing, give us a call on 0499 831 111, email [email protected] or DM us. *Sources: ABS, State Custodians #biznerve # biznervefinance #biznervefinancepartners #mortgages #realestate #mortgage #mortgagebroker #refinance #home #mortgagelender #mortgagelife #finance #homeloans #property #investment #homebuying #househunting #mortgagelending #mortgagespecialis
