There is no doubt that we have seen a strong increase in enquiry for people looking to buy their first home before the $7,000 grant disappears early October. And with good reason, it doesn’t look like it is coming back any time soon and with prices stable it does appear to offer a genuine contribution to the purchase price of a first home.
As a result we have a number of property owners who are looking to sell soon but aren’t quite ready to go to market.
If you are actively looking for a first home, particularly a unit with a budget below $350,000 or a house in the $500,000 range make yourself known (i.e. send us an email or give us a call). We can give you the “inside scoop” on some of the upcoming property listings, some available right now, others next week. There will be sales before some officially hit the market.
