21.01.2022 This is a comprehensive overview of the economy right now, with a view on the next 6-12 months. Essentially the data is continuing to be very positive, albeit with some caution. Retail spending is considerably up, which is a great indicator of confidence. Owner-occupier lending is also up, which adds further strength to the stability of the property market. The host, Ben Kingsley has a clear message to those who think the property market is going to capitulate in September, w...hen the repayment holidays are meant to cease - it won’t happen... Have a listen #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #LoanMarket #Brokersworkforyou #BankersworkfortheBank #BenKingsley https://podcasts.apple.com//rba-june-2020-swa/id969904333

20.01.2022 Paul helped us refinance our home and commercial mortgages. He was always available and went above and beyond to make a relatively complicated process very easy.... Explained things and was always available for questions. He found a great deal which ultimately saved us hundreds of dollars every month. Would highly recommend and will use again in the future. Thanks again Paul See more

20.01.2022 Thanks Amy! Ironic that Amy mentions silly questions... Her and Adam Schloss definitely did not have any silly questions; they are very savvy and made sure I knew what I was talking about! Awesome people, great house, and a great result. :) #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #brokersworkforyou #Bankersworkforthebank #LoanMarket

18.01.2022 WHY HASN'T THE PROPERTY MARKET CRASHED YET? This is an insightful article about the property market, which indicates a continuation of improving sentiment, but also provides some more context for the rising sentiment. The biggest takeaway for me: the data shows the industries most impacted by COVID lock-down, (retail, accommodation, arts, & recreation) are more commonly renters, rather than home owners. Thus, this partly explains why there haven't been a high number of stress...ed sales, thus far. With the lifting of COVID restrictions, seemingly bringing about a stronger level of buyer demand, to seller supply; one could argue that properties could even rise However, who knows what 2020 still has in stall for us... Perhaps an alien encounter? Trump might stop tweeting his every thought, Scomo might begin to support a decent sporting team, OR we realize that we are living in a simulation... & this has all just been a muck-up in the control system #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #Brokersworkforyou #BankersworkfortheBank https://www.corelogic.com.au//buyers-are-surprisingly-resp

17.01.2022 More positive rumblings of some boosts to the property and construction industry in Australia! #LoanMarket #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG Paul Steele https://www.news.com.au///fca8a0d81dbef389399e1bbdb35b74b6

17.01.2022 Banks can be difficult to deal with... I do it for you, and will get you a great deal in the process, with no cost to you, and as minimal fuss as possible Thanks Rich!

14.01.2022 Thanks Kahlia! My absolute pleasure! A whole 1% on a home loan! To put that in context, for a $500k loan, that’s about $200/month in interest saved. Over a 30-year loan term, that’s $72,000 in interest saved! You like money? Want to keep your hard-earned in your account? Get in touch & I’ll let you know if you’re paying too much interest #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #Brokersworkforyou #Bankersworkforthrbank

07.01.2022 After a massive 7 days - 4 deals submitted; 4 approved, nothing beats getting away with the family Anne-Marie Steele Paul Steele

06.01.2022 THE PROPERTY VALUE DATA IS IN! This is a great snapshot of property prices around the country, for the last 5 years. It is great data, and I could dissect it and compare it with other macro metrics, like wage growth, migration, infrastructure spending etc. and identify trends and then hypothesize value predictions in the coming 12 months But this would likely be a monumental WASTE OF TIME (and a bit w*nky really) Why? Because the new normal, is abnormal Drought, bush fires..., a pandemic, rising unemployment, and a couple of little scuffles with China yet still property prices have risen .5% for the first quarter of 2020 across our capital cities. The ASX200 is down ~20% since its all-time-high on February 20th... International migration has plummeted, dramatically impacting Australian universities and tourism, yet experts are now saying the downturn might be much milder than first thought. Surely this isn’t all just because Scomo got the cheque book out? There are a plethora of factors at play here, and it is anyone’s guess as to how the re-opening of the world from COVID19 is going to play out. At the end of the day though, property as an asset class is illiquid, and has high transaction costs; meaning that these massive shocks take a long time to be realized in the property market. Hence, it will be fascinating to observe; as this COVID financial shock could come and go before its impacts are even reflected in the property values. But this might be too optimistic So what should we do? My suggestions are: 1. STOP PAYING TOO MUCH INTEREST ON YOUR HOME LOAN/S If you’ve read this much of my post, you deserve a discount on your home loan - contact me, and I’ll try to arrange this for you, at no cost. 2. If someone has, or is thinking of buying a property that they will live in for a long period of time what the market does in the next 3,12, even 36 months, should be largely irrelevant the property cycle will occur, whether they monitor the property’s ongoing value, or not. 3. Thirdly, it is never too late to review ones' financial position, conduct some research, consult professionals, and establish and pursue their financial goals. Controlling the controllables is all one can ever do, but particularly when the world has gone mad Anne-Marie Steele Paul Steele #GreenafinanceGroup #GFG #LoanMarket https://www.corelogic.com.au//housing-values-edge-lower-ma

06.01.2022 WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? Well, the ASX200 rallied 2.93% yesterday! Yet. unemployment benefits are at record highs Property prices are meant to be crashing, but only dropped by 0.5% across the combined capital cities for the first quarter of 2020 (Core Logic). COVID was meant to wipe out hundreds of thousands of us at a minimum, but has taken 102 souls thus far . We’re meant to be on the precipice of an economic depression, but data from CBA’s research showed that househo...ld income actually increased last quarter (Cheers Scomo ). My point? When things seem hopeless, it’s often not that bad... Similarly, if it seems too good to be true; it likely is! My suggestion? Sift through the noise, and look after you and what’s yours. Pivot where you need to; then go hard at your goals. Despite the economic world supposedly closing in, I’m fortunate to be settling more deals now than ever, whilst building a small army of first home buyers. Risk mitigation is imperative, but don’t fall victim to paralysis by analysis. #LoanMarket #GFG #GreenFinanceGroup #Brokersworkforyou Anne-Marie Steele Paul Steele

05.01.2022 I perceived Governor Lowe's speech yesterday as a clear sign that the RBA will be quite proactive for a while yet. I doubt market bears and shorters will like this narrative! The cash rate was kept at .25% and will likely stay there for a while, until noticeable improvements are made in employment and inflation numbers. 'The substantial, coordinated and unprecedented easing of fiscal and monetary policy in Australia is helping the economy through this difficult period. It is... likely that this fiscal and monetary support will be required for some time. The Board is committed to do what it can to support jobs, incomes and businesses and to make sure that Australia is well placed for the recovery. Its actions are keeping funding costs low and supporting the supply of credit to households and businesses. This accommodative approach will be maintained as long as it is required." He opines that although unclear, the downturn could be shorter than expected... Commenting that the period of downturn will be likely be determined "depend on the confidence that people and businesses have about the health situation and their own finances." Hence, our recovery will be quicker, if we collectively believe it will be quick, and thereby spend and invest. If the number of first home buyer inquiries I've had is an indicator of confidence, we are on track for a strong recovery! #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #LoanMarket #Brokersworkforyou #Bankersforthebank https://www.rba.gov.au/media-releases/2020/mr-20-15.html

02.01.2022 Experts say that you should surround yourself with people who are smarter than yourself... Well I definitely did that yesterday when i sat down with, and interviewed Ivan Orola of The Property Amigos. Ivan has had a very impressive career in Commercial Property law already, but he and co-founder & fellow solicitor, Frank Chio have teamed up to create The Property Amigos - a property buying consultancy service, specifically designed for first home buyers. This is a fantastic c...oncept and there is a huge demand for it in the industry. I am pumped to have these guys in our corner, to further boost our service offering to first home buyers. The interview will be posted over the coming days, but check them out, and arrange a chat today. With all of the government schemes and boosts currently on offer, I don't recall a better time for first home buyers to get into the property market! https://www.thepropertyamigos.com.au//www.thepropertyamig/ #GreenFinanceGroup #GFG #LoanMarket #Brokersworkforyou #BankersworkfortheBank@
