FIRST TIME HOME BUYER? HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Published on 28 July 2025 at 17:23

Buying your first home can undoubtedly feel overwhelming, especially in a competitive market like Canberra, where properties can be snapped up quickly and the landscape is ever-changing.

However, here’s the good news: with the right support and guidance, this journey toward homeownership can become a much clearer and more manageable process.

The first step in this journey is to gain a solid understanding of your borrowing power.

It's essential for us to assess your finances and establish a strong plan that outlines your budget and potential loan options.

This foundational knowledge not only helps you feel more secure, but also enables us to make informed decisions as we begin your search.

Next, it’s crucial to know where to look for your ideal home. While online listings are valuable, they don’t capture everything the market has to offer.

There are often off-market opportunities—homes that aren't publicly listed, that we can uncover together.

These hidden gems could be the key to finding a property that perfectly meets your needs and financial goals.

And here’s our tip of the week:

While it can be tempting to fall in love with features like a "shiny new kitchen," it's important to think long-term about your investment.

Factors such as location, land value, and the potential for future growth should weigh heavily in your decision-making process.

These elements can significantly impact not only your current enjoyment of the home but also its value down the line.

Having walked this road ourselves, we understand the challenges that first-time buyers face, and we’re here to help you navigate the process with confidence.

Whether you have questions about financing, property types, or market trends, we’re committed to ensuring you feel empowered every step of the way.

Together, we can find the right home for you!
