First Home Finance
Bank or Broker?
When beginning the search for their first home in Perth, people generally spend time shopping around for a new home – and understandably, it’s an exciting part of the process! However, many first home buyers rarely think twice about shopping around for a great finance deal.
Being educated on the options available for you when it comes to finance is huge, as the difference between a poor finance deal and a great one could mean a difference of thousands of dollars a year in mortgage payments!
We prefer using a reputable and trusted mortgage broker over a bank, as they generally have access to a large range of lenders and products, meaning a lot more options that may save you money – basically, a broker will do the shopping around for you!
Contrary to popular belief, there is generally no upfront fee for using a broker, and they instead usually share a commission with your bank of choice, meaning you are no more out of pocket than usual for taking advantage of their services. PLUS, with their wealth of experience they can usually help you save some money on fees, interest rates and other charges along the way too!
If you are unsure, try having a chat to your DreamStart Homes First Home Buyer Specialist – they usually have a broker they recommend and at the end of the day if you aren’t happy with what the broker is suggesting you can always go back to your bank knowing that you have done the research and you are absolutely getting the best bang for your buck!
When is the right time to buy?
When it comes time to buying your first home, it is often a delicate balancing point between being ‘ready’ to buy your home and potentially missing a great opportunity that doesn’t come along too often!
With finance requirements constantly changing, we often meet people who wait for the ‘right’ time to buy, only to miss their window of opportunity which can set them back many years in their endeavour to get into their home.
It is for this reason that we always suggest to speak to a specialist as early as possible in your planning/saving/home hunting process.
Find out if you qualify
The reason we suggest meeting a specialist soon, rather than later, is that they can look at your individual finance situation and determine what you may qualify to borrow and what money you would need to put in to get started. If you don’t currently qualify, they can let you know what you need to do in order to get to a point where you are ready to build.
At DreamStart Homes we also generally get forward warning of a large majority of upcoming finance changes, which means we can let you know of things that are on the horizon that may potentially impact your ability to qualify for a home, be it positively or negatively.
Getting started on your dream home
Once you have all this information, it is up to you as to what you do with it – you have 100% control over your buying timeline, meaning you can still determine when you are ready to build.
You are simply armed with all the information upfront to ensure you don’t miss that ‘golden’ opportunity to build your first home in Perth!
