Are you wondering whether it’s a good time to take out a large home loan to renovate or buy a house?
In today's episode, I talk to a mortgage broker, and you'll learn what's happening with home loans and interest rates in 2024 and 2025. You'll also learn about current housing demand in southeast Queensland and which banks will support the environment to help you make the right decisions.
I'll talk to highly respected mortgage broker Richard Jefferies from Newbridge Home Loans in Brisbane.
KEY POINTS SUMMARY
To conclude today, I want to draw your attention to three main points.
1. Richard forecast that interest rates would remain fairly stable over the next twelve months.
2. There's a high demand for more houses all over Australia, coupled with a shortage of available houses. Southeast Queensland alone has a shortage of about 14,000 homes a year, and this demand is pushing up house prices with no sign of stopping.
Brisbane's long-term average medium house price growth rate is around 6 - 8%. And this means two things:
- House prices are rising steadily. If you're a first-time home buyer in southeast Queensland, get into the market before it becomes even more unaffordable.
- It also means that property in southeast Queensland is very desirable for investors.
3. If you are looking for a bank that supports the environment, there are a few around. Richard mentioned a great website listing banks that don't invest in fossil fuels. Here is the link:
