25.01.2022 Congratulations to the buyer of 37 Fairway Terr, Preston Beach!!

24.01.2022 June Reveals Biggest Month of Sales in Perth Since 2015! June reiwa.com data shows the strongest month for sales in Perth since 2015, with transactions increasing 55.1 per cent compared to May and 45 per cent higher than June 2019. reiwa.com data shows there were 3,990 sales transactions in June, with 2,519 of these dwellings (up 15 per cent) and 1,471 land sales (up 289 per cent)... The recent Federal and State Government building bonus grants have boosted transactions last month. The large spike that we have seen in land transactions can be attributed to people fearing that they may miss out on these grants. There is a real possibility that we will run out of titled and completed blocks in the coming months. The median land sale price increased five per cent compared to this time last year and is now sitting at $250,000. A perfect time to sell with buyer demand so high, call today!

23.01.2022 What should I be doing to help prepare for the coming months? There are many steps you can take if you're currently unaffected by financial stress but want to prepare yourself just in case.... If you currently have a home loan, consider the following: Check your interest rate. Rates are quite low now. If yours has risen over time there might be much better deals on the market. If this is the case, you could refinance (switch) and save. Refinance to a lower rate loan. If your rate is high, compare your options and refinance to a lower interest rate. Your repayments will shrink. Make extra repayments via an offset account. Making extra loan repayments reduces your debt and is good financial preparedness if you get affected by coronavirus. You can put the extra repayments directly into your loan or save them in your mortgage offset account (if you have one). The offset account gives you more flexibility to use the repayments later. Build a savings buffer to cover future repayments. If it's at all possible, build up extra savings now. You can use this to cover repayments if you get sick or lose your job. Again, you can do this via an offset account (and this will lower your interest costs) or any savings account. If you have any questions around finance, we suggest you contact Mortgage and Finance Solutions Australia for obligation free advice.

19.01.2022 #BREAKING: The State Government will introduce new legislation to remove the requirement for residents to get planning approval to build a deck, patio, shed or ...pergola in their backyard. STORY | https://ab.co/2AKZ2Ut. "A household who wants to put up a shed or a patio or some shade sails, to have to get planning approval from the local council is expensive and unnecessary," Premier Mark McGowan said. The Premier said the Government had brought forward its planning reform package in a bid to stimulate the economy and create jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic. They will also include measures to cut red tape for small businesses wanting to start up or adapt and will introduce a new development application process for "significant" projects for the next 18 months to provide immediate support for the states economic recovery. These reforms allow us to clear that red tape away and ensure that we get major developers and minor developers and householders and small businesses the opportunity to get their projects underway far more quickly, Mr McGowan said.

10.01.2022 Confusing Financial terms explained - Redraw Many lenders allow you to make extra repayments. If your loan has a redraw facility you can withdraw some of this extra money to spend if needed. If you're in financial stress but you've made extra repayments in the past your lender may let you redraw this money and convert it to extra repayments. Because this money has already been paid by you, your lender may simply adjust the repayment terms. You will need to arrange this with your lender.

10.01.2022 Congratulations to the buyers of 65 Bridgewater Boulevard in Erskine, Mandurah on the purchase of your new home!

10.01.2022 The Real Estate Conversation has reported the strongest month in Perth real estate since 2015. Stuart Cox, General Manager WA for The Agency Group told WILLIAMS MEDIA that pent up buyer demand is being driven by low interest rates and government grants. "First home buyers entering the market are opening up the ladder for the mid and high tier buyers," said Mr Cox. Mr Cox said The Agency Group had 235 new listings for the month and 288 under offer to a value of $133,257,359 in... Western Australia. A record smashing month for The Agency Group!

09.01.2022 Confusing Financial terms explained - Rate cuts Many lenders mention interest rate cuts in their coronavirus support packages. This is partly because the RBA just lowered the cash rate again, making borrowing costs cheaper. At this stage, most lenders are not lowering variable rates. Some are cutting fixed rates for new customers. But if you've already fixed, well, you've fixed. Your rate won't get lower.

09.01.2022 Confusing Financial terms explained - Interest capitalisation Some lenders will pause your repayments but charge interest for those months of non-payment. Instead of making you repay all this interest in one go it is usually capitalised onto your loan. This means the extra costs are added to your existing loan amount and you repay them over time.

04.01.2022 Who is eligible for support? Every lender has its own criteria to determine who is eligible for coronavirus support or not. You may have to prove that you've lost a job or income to qualify. Some lenders are extending repayment pauses to all their borrowers, on the understanding that you will end up paying everything back later. If you've lost your job or had invoices cancelled, retaining a letter of termination or other evidence of income loss is a wise move.

03.01.2022 What makes us Australia's fastest growing plumbing company?

03.01.2022 I'm not affected yet, what financial precautions can I take? There are many steps you can take if you're currently unaffected by financial stress but want to prepare yourself just in case. If you currently have a home loan, consider the following: Check your interest rate. Rates are quite low now. If yours has risen over time there might be much better deals on the market.

Again, you can do this via an offset account (and this will lower your interest costs) or any savings account. If you're still employed but have less income then you may have the option of switching to interest-only repayments for a while. This will reduce your repayments in the short term and could offer some breathing space. But be aware that over time interest-only repayments will cost you more because you're essentially adding more interest charges to the loan. Note that if you have other, higher interest debts beside your mortgage then you should get those under control first, if possible. See more
