Frequently Asked Questions
The big question! Your friends will all have their own advice and your parents will be sure to weigh in with their almighty grand opinion, but when really is the best time to buy a new home and who can you trust to answer that question honestly?!
Well the best time to build is now. Right now, we are about to rise from the lowest point in the property market cycle. We’re moving into ‘recovery.’ Now is the best time to buy land and ride the recovery wave. As people start to buy again, land supply tightens up and prices start to rise. As the prices rise, more people need to rent, so rentals increase. By getting into the property market as soon as possible, you can save thousands on renting.
Building your own home is actually a lot easier than you may think. You can get started with Homebuyers Centre with just a $1000 deposit. We’ve got lots of low deposit options available with smaller regular payments that make owning your own home that much easier.
Whether you’ve been saving for years or you have no money put aside, our trusty finance brokers at Resolve Finance can help you out when it comes to sorting out your home deposit. They will be able to help you figure out if you qualify by looking at your performance on paper and assessing whether you can do it. Our team will take all of this into account as well as looking into potential interest rate rises, to make sure you will be able to comfortably make your mortgage repayments well into the future.
Well firstly, you get to choose EVERYTHING you want in your home when you build something new! Your new home will reflect your own style, not someone else’s taste.
Secondly, building new should save you money. Everything is under warranty, unlike in a used home which may need things replaced over time, plus new homes are much more energy efficient and can save you money due to lower heating and cooling costs.
By building your own home instead of buying something older that has already been built, you can start from scratch, customise your own home and have something new and shiny that fits in perfectly with your individual needs.
House and land packages are the combination of both your home design, build and land all together, adding up to one final cost. This means that you will only require one loan instead of multiple, which will make sure you save on any unnecessary fees/charges.
