10.01.2022 Geelong FHBs are the ultimate winners in Victoria, if you ask us. Were deemed a regional center under the Grants classifications, meaning FHBs are treated to a doubling of the grant to $20,000. This week we could see a further increase announced to boost construction and encourage buyers throughout the Greater Geelong Regional to make the move into home ownership. Currently, the incentive is applicable to all Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Bellarine and Golden Plains areas.... On July 1, 10,000 First Home Loan Deposit Scheme placements will be released across Australia. Its not many: more than 10,000 FHBs took out new loan commitments nationwide in March, alone. This financial leg-up really sharpens Geelongs appeal, with its buoyant property sector, a coastal lifestyle enriched by great food and wine, and ongoing economic initiatives including the decentralisation of government agencies and most recently the anchoring of the Spirit of Tasmania.

03.01.2022 CBA is dropping home loan repayments to the minimum amount for over $750,000 clients. Good news? This article suggests otherwise, but first lets get the facts: CBA is automatically dropping home loan repayments to the minimum amount for home loan customers If your home loan is variable you are still able/allowed/permitted to make extra repayments After May 6th you can opt out and increase your repayment back to its original amount... Like many big and small banks across Australia, CBA is trying to ease the financial hardship currently being felt by Australians impacting by COVID-19. Weve seen widespread support from our lenders in response to the pandemic and some pretty swift changes have occurred to help clients in financial distress. Yes, lenders are getting a bit more personal regarding the income and employment related to applications obviously, there is a pandemic on people! But for most clients it is still easy to meet the lenders requirements as it was in the pre-COVID19 environment. KEY POINT if you have a variable rate home loan you can usually pretty much every time - pay extra (that is one of the key benefits of a variable rate home loan). If you are not sure, then just ask. Reviewing this repayment can take a matter of minutes and given how many extra minutes many of us have gained by not commuting to work, it will time well spent! Lending policy, product and information changes frequently trust us we know there are no silly questions when it comes to your finances. #knowyourloan #financiallyhealthy #homeloanhelp #geelongbusiness #geelonglocal https://www.abc.net.au//commonwealth-bank-corona/12197874

03.01.2022 Quick facts! What is a refinance? A refinance is a restructure or refresh of your current lending, this is usually done to achieve an end goal. What can you refinance? Any loan! Home loans, car loans, personal loans and credit cards can all be consolidated. You dont need a property to consolidate a loan. Weve seen a huge spike in car and personal loan refinance as rates vary from 4.69%p.a. Up to 20%p.a. + and dropping your rate can save you thousands over the life of the... loan. Why refinance? People refinance for many many reasons including - getting a lower rate - consolidating more than 1 debt into 1 easy repayment - better loan structure - borrow additional funds - lower the monthly loan repayment o make budgeting more manageable Where should you refinance to? You dont have to move lenders to refinance. Sometimes your current lender will negotiate your rate to retain you as a client as well as providing you the extra funds to consolidate other debts, complete home improvements or purchase a new vehicle. Otherwise, weve got over 50 lenders ready to fight for your business. We specialise in saving you money and making life easier with the lender that has the right loan for you - dont pay a loyalty tax! Not sure? Just ask. #debtfree #paydebt #loans #geelongbusiness #nosuchthingasasillyquestion
