Upward Pressure on
House Prices
The recent release of the 
National Housing Supply 
Council State of Supply 
Report' has confirmed that 
Australia is likely to face 
an ongoing undersupply 
of housing. The report 
projects a shortfall between 
demand and supply of 
23,000 dwellings in 2010 
which is likely to increase 
by a similar amount each 
year until 2016. Of course, 
the greater the gap 
between supply and 
demand, the more 
upwards pressure there 
is on housing prices.

 

 

 

 

Average aussie saves
$900 per month
11th January 2009. 
The average Australian 
will be $900 per month 
better off in 2009 because 
of the drop in petrol prices 
and interest rates. 

Economist Scott Haslem 
says that a person on 
average earnings with a 
$250,000 mortgage will 
be spending almost $200 
per week less on mortgage 
interest, compared with 
October 2008, while fuel 
savings could be as much 
as $40 per week.

First home buyers must act now!
If you are a first home buyer and want to purchase while the 
boost to the First Home Owners' Grant  is still in effect, now is 
definitely the time to secure a home loan pre-approval and 
get out into the market to find your property. 
Property stocks are tightening up in many areas, particularly 
in the low to middle price range, as many first home buyers 
look to take advantage of the low interest rate and high grant 
amount environment. 
To secure the full $14,000 for the purchase of existing homes, 
or $21,000 for the purchase of newly-constructed homes 
(plus any state-specific assistance), you will need to have 
signed a contract of sale by no later than September 30, 
according to the recent budget announcements. Further 
conditions surrounding settlement of your property, and 
timeframes for completion if you choose to build your first 
home, are also applicable.. 
The more generous scheme phased down December 31
Between October 1 and December 31, the boost will be halved, 
meaning first home buyers will receive a total of $10,500 for 
established homes and $14,000 for new homes. 
As competition is fierce, pressure is on, and quality properties 
are few and far between, securing that perfect property can be 
a lengthy and often incredibly frustrating job. Using a buyers a
gent should be seriously considered by first home buyers 
seriously looking to successfully enter the property market.

At Last! 'Super' Property Gearing An unfortunate consequence which has occurred as a result of the stock market crash is that many hard working people who need superannuation associate the term superannuation with shares and the stock market and huge risks and losses together with commissions and ongoing ‘trails’ to financial planners.
Many of these persons also think that by putting their hard earned cash into superannuation that it has to go into the stock market linked investments and that they immediately lose control and at the same time will be subject to fixed and ongoing fees from financial planners.
Nothing is further from the truth! A superannuation fund in most cases is the best ‘investment vehicle’ people can use to accumulate a secure retirement income. This is why...
