Homebuying tips for spring

As the weather warms up, so does the Australian housing market.

Spring is one of the busiest times for both buyers and sellers, often bringing new listings and increased competition.

Whether you’re looking for your first or next home, here are some buying tips to help you make the most of the season.

Get pre-approval

Home loan pre-approval is an important step to help you understand your budget and property possibilities.

In a competitive market, it could also strengthen your position by showing sellers that you’re a qualified buyer. This can make your offer more attractive when compared to those from buyers without pre-approval.

Explore your options

Spring often brings a fresh wave of listings, making it a great time to explore open houses and auctions.

Visiting properties in person allows you to experience different layouts and atmospheres firsthand. It can also be an opportunity to learn more about the things that are important to you, such as block size, natural light, and local amenities.
