08.01.2022 Melbourne Stage 4 and Victoria Stage 3 Renovation Tips! This could save you hours of time from waiting! Happy weekend everyone!

08.01.2022 Rachel Slade, the group executive for personal banking at the NAB, acknowledges there is a limit to how long deferring mortgage repayments can work. Thats because deferred mortgages are still accruing interest and household debts are getting bigger. Australia already has some of the highest household debt levels in the world. We owe more than two dollars in debt for every single dollar we earn. Total Australian household debt is $2,510 billion, according to the ABS.... Reserve Bank deputy governor Guy Debelle told Background Briefing that right now, everything hinged on employment. "What matters most in your ability to pay your mortgage is whether youve got a job, whether youve got an income," he said. "Obviously at the moment, unemployment has gone up and less people have jobs. "The big issue here is just how long this goes for and how persistent thats going to be." He said the real unemployment rate was likely higher than the official rate of 7.1 per cent because of JobKeeper. Full Article in the Link Below.

06.01.2022 Is HomeBuilder (Australian government grants of $25,000 and more for new builds and renovations) actually active?

03.01.2022 Property Market and Economic Update 23 July 2020 - Finally we know what the plans are for JobKeeper and JobSeeker - it will be a slow transition for most Australians and businesses off of this scheme from September into early 2021 until the scheme complete. - Some businesses and individuals wont meet the new support payment criteria and may face more financial hardship from October 2020.... - Unfortunately the government payments leaves a big hole in the Australian federal budget as they pick up the tab to keep everyday Aussies and businesses afloat. The long term impacts on the economy will definitely be felt, though no one really wants to think about that right now. - Victoria being the state in lockdown round two is expecting a budget deficit of $7.5billion - Melbourne house prices are the worst hit in the country and are expected to drop even further - Sydney rental vacancy rates are up as new listings hit the market. Housing prices have also continued their decrease over this month. - What next!?

02.01.2022 The ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence report, released Tuesday, slipped 0.5 points its third consecutive weekly decline to its lowest in two months. It showed another fall in consumer confidence at a national level and is now down 6% from where it was in the middle of June, Mr Kusher said. The point here is whilst the lockdowns are only affecting Victoria, it is having a broader impact on the [Australian] economy, which was just starting to recover.... If we also look at search volumes, they fell across most states last week. Weve seen a little less preparedness for people to list properties as well. Its not just weighing heavily on Victoria, but its weighing on the rest of the country as well. Full article here: https://www.realestate.com.au//lockdown-2-0-property-mar/

02.01.2022 Happy October!? Mortgage deferrals are winding up with banks beginning to contact customers regarding arrangements during COVID period. What's going to happen now? A tip if you're on any mortgage arrangements with your bank is to proactively contact the bank to reassess the arrangement or its ending. The main thing banks look for is serviceability so if your cashflow/income has changed it's best to work a plan out with the bank rather than waiting for them to contact you! https://www.abc.net.au//mortgage-deferral-ending-/12723598

01.01.2022 Both the JobKeeper and JobSeeker subsidies are set to end in September, but the Federal Government has acknowledged support would still be needed past then as the coronavirus crisis continues. The changes were initially scheduled to be announced as part of the Governments budget update on Thursday, but the timetable has been brought forward, with changes to the two support schemes to be announced tomorrow. It is understood both payments will continue past September, but elig...ibility rules will be tightened and the rates of payment lowered from then on. According to modelling done by The Australia Institute, if the benefit did revert back to its old rate, approximately 650,000 people would be pushed into poverty, including 120,000 children.
