25.01.2022 Beyond proud to be a part of such a wonderful community at North Ringwood FC.

24.01.2022 We are very much open for business and busy helping clients get better deals on their existing loans and preparing pre-approvals for new purchases once everything re-opens. The banks have adapted procedures to now allow everything to be completed remotely. Now is a great time to negotiate a lower rate and perhaps receive a refinance rebate from the new lender (some being thousands of dollars).

22.01.2022 TO PAUSE OR NOT TO PAUSE- Hitting pause may be good idea to get your through COVID-19 but you do pay more in the long run so it needs to be considered decision to put your loan repayments on hold. I think this article clearly explains the pros and cons.

21.01.2022 We love helping first home buyers get the keys to their first home. TESTIMONIAL- Brett and his team went above and beyond to make the dream of owning my first home a reality. No obstacle was too difficult and there was constant clear communication throughout. I wouldnt use anyone else. ... J. Whelan

20.01.2022 MONOPOLY REMOVED IN ELECTRONIC SETTLEMENT SPACE. With greater competition one would expect service and pricing to improve which will only help the customer.

18.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL: My partner Kiera and I approached Brett when it was time to buy our first home together after hearing how he helped a few other friends secure finance around the footy club. From the get go Brett was fantastic using his industry knowledge to present some fantastic options for us. Our loan application wasnt straight forward with me being self-employed.

Like to thank Brett and the Home Loan Saint team on a fantastic job and would highly recommend. -Nathan Payne

16.01.2022 GAME CHANGER IN COMMERCIAL LOAN MARKET- A lender is now offering 30 year terms and Loan to Value Ratios up to 80% with rates below 3%. This is effectively residential terms for commercial property.

16.01.2022 PROPERTY PRICE PROJECTION- No one has a crystal ball but these are interesting views from Westpacs head economist who predicts the dip in property values will not be as bad as first thought and the recovery to be strong in 2021 and 2022.

16.01.2022 MELBOURNE MOST LIVEABLE SUBURBS Some interesting results here with some less prestigious suburbs climbing the ladder.

15.01.2022 WHAT DO AUSTRALIANS WORRY ABOUT- An interesting article about the shift in focus for Australians amid the pandemic.

15.01.2022 SEA CHANGE OR TREE CHANGE? Will working from home for so long see many move to where they want to live if they only need to commute to work 1-2 days a week? Mornington Peninsula or Phillip Island anyone?

15.01.2022 WILL RATES GO BELOW ZERO? The cash rate stayed on hold today at record lows of 0.50% but some economists believe they need to into negative territory. The banks fixed rates tell us that this is a good chance.

14.01.2022 WILL THE BANKS BE ALLOWED TO LEND MORE? Currently, APRA demands a 2.5% serviceability buffer. So you may pay 2.50% but the banks work on 5.00%. The RBA has flagged the possibility of these reducing. This may reduce to the standard levels of 10-15 years ago of 1.25-1.5% buffer. This still assesses a borrower factoring in 5-6 rate increases. In our opinion this is still lending conservatively and responsibly.

11.01.2022 NO STAMP DUTY FOR FIRST HOME BUYERS. The increase to the base purchase price is a win for buyers in NSW. In Victoria the base level is $600k but the entry level in many areas is higher than this. Will the Victorian State Government follow with something similar?

10.01.2022 HOME OFFICE SPACE We expect home office space will become a key selling feature of properties moving forward. Maybe it will not be about location, location, location if the need to go to the city for work falls.

09.01.2022 RENOVATORS PLEASE NOTE- This scheme is going to help several of our existing clients. If you are thinking of renovating or building a new home and want more information on this and how to deal with the lenders in conjunction with this scheme please give us a call.

09.01.2022 LOAN APPROVAL TAKING FOREVER? We posted about this 2 months ago but with some lenders it has continued to get worse with staff unable to cope with volumes.

01.01.2022 $1 MORTGAGE INSURANCE Mortgage insurance is a cost that covers the bank and not the borrower and is effectively a once off expensive risk fee. One lender is currently only charging $1 for mortgage insurance when borrowing is at 85% of the purchase price. For a $600,000 purchase and a loan of $510,000 the mortgage insurance at this level would be over $7,000.
