16.01.2022 Good news for your Monday - first home buyer activity and affordability rates are on the rise. Who do you think will be better for housing affordability policies? Scott Morrison (ScoMo) government or a Bill Shorten MP government?

16.01.2022 In August 2017 I revealed to Domain about how some state governments provide first home buyer stamp duty concessions to investors and that the rules needed to be updated to stop this from occurring. I mean first home buyer government concessions should be for "first home buyers" (whom they are intended for) - not investors. Right? The various state governments were notified of the flaws in their eligibility rules.... Unforuntately, in some states, the flaws still exist. Read why I think this is unfair in my interview with Domain

01.01.2022 The hardest part of being a first home buyer is actually the first step - putting together a deposit big enough to get into the property market The Federal Government (currently Liberal Party of Australia) has a government scheme to assist Australians save for house deposit tax effectively, called the First Home Super Saver (FHSS).
