24.01.2022 Our latest SF Capital case study is a scenario of an Australian expat who lives and works in China. Read case study: https://www.sfcapital.com.au//off-the-plan-purchase-for-a/...

17.01.2022 The July housing market report from CoreLogic Australia is out which looks at data for June 2020. - Change in Sydney dwelling values down -0.8% (past 1 & 3 month) - Recent falls represent an interrupted upswing (over a 12 month period) - Mild declines since April lows, but longer term outlook remains uncertain... - The most expensive quartile of housing continues to lead the downturn - Sydneys upper quartile down -1.3% over 3 months whilst lower quartile was down -0.2% over the same period. The Impact of the pandemic on the housing market is milder than expected, the resilience in values attributable to government support measures, loan repayment deferrals and scarcity of supply. The next update will be much anticipated as it will reveal the flow-on impact of the second Victoria lockdown and any potential restrictive polices that might be introduced in NSW.

12.01.2022 In this next segement, Priscilla Tan shares how she helped a couple who relocated from Sydney to Hobart to buy their first home. The clients were prepared to contribute a 10% deposit towards the purchase. They wanted to preserve their savings towards other relocation expenses. In order to bridge the deposit gap for the loan amount required, the clients took out a family guarantee to get the loan over the line.... The additional security offered by a family member helped lower the Loan to Value (LVR) ratio. The clients were able to borrow the required amount while avoiding Lenders Mortgage Insurance which can be costly.

06.01.2022 When it comes to buying a car, it (literally) pays to have a broker like Luke Xie who knows the finance AND car market. Here is a real example of how you can save more than $15,000 over 5 years by choosing a near new 2019 BMW instead of a brand new 2020 Both cars are 2019 build making them exactly the same specifications, one is just 2020 registered instead of 2019... To the lender, the 2019 car is still treated as brand new so you can access the same competitive rates. If youre in the market for a new car speak to our Vehicle Finance Broker, Luke Xie for how he can help.

06.01.2022 Since RBA's rate cut last week, all the major banks have reduced fixed rates for owner occupier home loans on P&I repayments. Macquarie, as an exception, has reduced fixed rates across other home loan types (including investment loans). Fixed home loan rates for 4-year terms are now in the sub-2% territory, which is a historic low. Unfortunately, the banks have not passed on the rate cut to variable home loans. The banks argue that they need to protect profit margins becau...se deposit rates cannot be reduced much further. In this piece, we answer the questions borrowers are asking about how they can make the most of this latest round of rate cut: https://www.sfcapital.com.au/what-does-the-rba-rate-cut-me/ 1 If my bank is not passing on the rate cut to my loan, should I refinance? 2 If I am already on a fixed rate, how can I get a reduction in my rate? 3 What is a break fee? 4 How can I benefit from the rate cut? 5 I have an investment loan, how am I impacted? 6 Can I fix my home loan without losing the offset feature? 7 What do I need to do to fix my variable home loan? 8 What can I do if I have a variable home loan, but I don’t want to fix it? 9 What is a split loan? If my question hasn't been answered here, can I speak to someone about my home loan? For a summary of rate cuts by the major banks, follow this link: https://www.sfcapital.com.au/rba-rate-cut-how-are-the-bank/ Commonwealth Bank ANZ Australia Westpac St.George Bank NAB ING Australia Macquarie Bank Please feel to get in touch with the SF Capital broker team for further assistance: [email protected] #sfcapital #rbarate #financeandeconomy #mortgagebrokersydney #mortgagebroker #mortgageadvice #morethanabroker #successfactors #money

04.01.2022 As widely expected, the Reserve Bank has today cut the official cash rate to a historic low of 0.1% The package of support measures decided by the central bank also includes bond purchases to support job creation and the recovery of the Australian economy from the pandemic. The combination of monetary and fiscal measures is expected to assist the recovery by on one hand lowering financing costs for borrowers, contributing to a lower exchange rate, and supporting asset price...s and balance sheets. On the other hand, the Term Funding Facility is contributing to low funding costs and supporting the supply of credit to the economy. We will provide an update on the latest interest rates once the rate cut washes through Australian banks Please stay tuned! #rba #reservebank #interestrates #interestrate #ratecut #monetarypolicy #economy #financeandeconomy #australia #sfcapital #successfactors #morethanabroker #mortgagebroker #mortgagebrokersydney #homeloan #homeloans Image credit: Reserve Bank of Australia Facebook Page

02.01.2022 How do we decide the best bank for our clients? The final consideration is the Service Levels Even if a bank checks every box in terms of acceptance of security and scenario, suitability of product type and loan structure, banking preferences and price, if there is a tight timeframe to settlement, the broker needs to change tact with lenders choice. Bank SLAs currently range from 1 day to 39 days. The huge difference in SLAs is driven by volume of loans, pr...ocess efficiencies, dependence on offshore processing centres and the impact of the pandemic on staffing levels. Service levels also refer to how well a customer is served after the bank "signs on" the customer. This is also a factor taken into consideration when weighing up lenders choice. So how the bank tends to treat (i.e. re-price) the "back book" after a loan settles and how accessible and responsive is their customer service. As your broker, our job is to find the most suitable lenders for your finance requirement, present the shortlist the client together with our recommendation.

01.01.2022 For property owners wanting to upsize (or downsize), a common question we get asked is "Should I sell before I buy"? The answer depends on what you want to do to your current home and whether you are able to keep it and convert it into an investment property. If you have to trade homes, the timing of selling and buying gets trickier. Ideally, you are able to buy and sell simultaneously.... If you have bought a property before you have sold your existing home, you may need a bridging loan. But not everyone can access or accepts the costs associated with the bridging loan. In this video, Tommy explains to Craig about the options available for homeowners in terms of timing the buying and selling.
