Before you start house hunting, speak to your bank or mortgage broker about home loan pre-approval. This gives you a clear understanding of what you can afford and puts you in a stronger position when you find the right property. Having your finances organised from the start makes the process smoother and reduces stress along the way.
2. Check Your Eligibility for Government Grants
First homebuyers may be eligible for valuable government grants and incentives. These can make a big difference in getting into the market sooner. Check what assistance is available in your state or region — it could help cover costs like stamp duty or provide a bonus towards your deposit.
3. Think Long-Term – Choose a Community That Grows With You
When buying your first home, don’t just focus on the house — think about the community you’re buying into. Look for areas with future parks, schools, shops, and amenities that will support your lifestyle for years to come. A well-planned community can help your investment grow while giving you a great place to live.
