🏡 Gen X takes top spot for property wealth 🏡
Baby Boomers no longer hold the top spot for housing wealth in Australia.
Research by KPMG reveals Gen X (1965-1980) have average property wealth of $1.455 million per household. 📈
The Boomers? They now average $1.36 million.
That’s because Boomers are dialling down their property holdings ahead of retirement.
Turns out younger Aussies aren’t doing too badly in the property stakes, either.
KPMG says 25-34-year olds have seen household wealth rise 63% over the last 5 years, thanks mainly to rising home ownership. 🏠

🏡 5% Deposit Scheme fuels price surge in affordable homes 🏡
Is the newly expanded 5% Deposit Scheme pricing first home buyers out of the market? 🤔
Well, property price data analysts Cotality think so, pointing out that homes falling within the scheme’s price limits saw price growth of 3.6% in just the December quarter alone.
Homes priced just above the price caps also rose 2.4% in the same period.
The bottom line: lock in, as it looks like competition for affordable homes is heating up. 🔥
One option?
Start a conversation with us. For starters, we’ll help you calculate your borrowing power.
Then, you may need to be open to being flexible on your choice of home and location - a first home doesn’t have to be a forever home, for instance.
But it can help you get a foothold in the market before prices potentially go up further. 👇

🚀 Refinancing is on a roll and the momentum is building 🚀

A record 641,552 loans were refinanced over the year, 20% higher than 2024’s 533,839, according to Money.com.au’s latest Mortgage Insights Report. 📈
And the momentum isn’t slowing. 💪
The Insights Report predicts refinancing volumes to grow a further 19% in 2026 to 762,437 loans.
Why the rush to switch? 🤔
The potential for a lower rate, potentially better home loan features, and the chance to reduce your monthly mortgage repayments.

💛 Does having a home loan = feel-good vibes? 💛
For most of us, taking on a mortgage is essential to buy a home. 🏡
But how does that big transition (generally) affect one's mental wellbeing?
Interestingly, there's a bit of a difference between the financial anxiety levels of debt free households vs mortgage holder households, according to Agile Market Intelligence.
When asked to describe their current financial situation, 31% of debt-free households were feeling financially anxious - up 2% from this time last year.
Meanwhile, just 25% of mortgage holder households were feeling financially anxious - down 1% from a year earlier.
If you'd like to explore whether home ownership is within reach for you - and how mortgage repayments would sit within your monthly household budget - then get in touch today. 👇

Having all your ducks in a row can help provide you with a competitive edge. 🦆
Home loan pre-approval could allow you to act faster when the right property comes along.
It could also help you bid with confidence at auctions. 🔨
And it can also let sellers (and the agent) know you’re a serious buyer.

🏠 First-home buyers use ‘COMO’ to achieve their goal 🏠
Ready to buy. Ready to bend. 🤸♂️
Many first home owners are embracing COMO - compromise or miss out - to break into the market.
PropTrack says 83% of buyers are willing to compromise on their first home.
The number of bedrooms, solar power and walk-in robes are the features most likely to be scratched from wish-lists. ✏️
One area you shouldn’t compromise on is your choice of home loan.
The right loan offers a competitive rate backed by features you’ll actually use. 💡

🏡 Home loan demand has just hit a 3-year high 🏡
Equifax reports demand for home loans rose 18% in December compared to the same time the previous year. 📈
It’s the biggest one month surge since 2022.
What was behind the increased appetite for home loans? 🤔
Two key factors: three rate cuts in 2025, and the expanded 5% Deposit Scheme.
The government's 5% Deposit Scheme lets first home buyers get started with a small deposit and zero lenders mortgage insurance.
It could be the helping hand you’ve been waiting for. Get in touch to find out if you’re eligible. 👇

🏘️ The big reveal: Australia’s most prolific property investors 🏘️
Close to 2.3 million Australians earned rental income from property in 2022-23, according to the ATO.
And they’re not all from uber-rich occupations.
In fact, teachers and nurses are among Australia’s top five most prolific property investors. 👩🏫👨⚕️
That’s because there are multiple pathways to invest, even if you don’t have a big deposit, including:
1. Consider harnessing home equity. 🏠
2. Think about turning a first home into a rental. 🔁
3. Weigh up rentvesting: live where you want, invest where you can afford. 📍
4. Or consider co-investing with mates or family to boost buying power and share costs. 🤝
Be sure to speak with a tax professional before investing.
And talk to us about the finance options that could match your situation and buying strategy. 👇

🧐 Will property prices keep rising in 2026? 🧐
9-in-10 Australians expect prices to keep climbing higher this year, according to API Magazine.
Possible future price rises could make it worth bringing forward your buying plans.
Cotality says rate cuts in 2025 boosted the average family's borrowing power by $51,000.
But those gains could quickly be eroded by higher home prices and more RBA rate hikes - the latest being a 0.25% hike earlier this month. ⚠️
