\"\"The sun is out \u2013 and so are the buyers! Spring is traditionally a peak period for property, and there\u2019s a good reason why spring 2024 is shaping up to be a bumper season. Here\u2019s how to prepare if you\u2019re planning to buy in the weeks ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At last! It\u2019s time to pack away the winter woollens, and dust off the t-shirts and shorts.<\/p>\n

Spring is just around the corner, and that means sellers will be sprucing up their homes to attract as many buyers as possible.<\/p>\n

Spring has always been a popular time for sellers and buyers alike. Gardens look lush, the warmer weather sees us head outdoors, and a home purchase can be settled in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s another reason why spring 2024 is likely to be especially busy.<\/p>\n

20% more homes to choose from<\/h3>\n

Over the past decade, spring has seen new listings jump by more than 18% across the country,\u00a0according to CoreLogic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This gives buyers a wider selection of homes to choose from \u2013 and they certainly take advantage of it. Home sales across the country typically rise by more than 8% in spring.<\/p>\n

This year, buyers could have an even bigger choice of homes to pick from.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0CoreLogic<\/a>, autumn and winter have seen real estate listings flow onto the market at an above average pace.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s seeing the market shift towards more of a balance in supply and demand \u2013 especially compared to last year, when sellers had the upper hand.<\/p>\n

Even so, buyers should prepare for the spring selling season.<\/p>\n

Quality homes don\u2019t stay on the market for long. In Perth, for example, the median selling time is\u00a0just 10 days at the moment<\/a>, so buyers who act fast can have a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

3 steps to give yourself an edge<\/h3>\n

In the fast-paced spring market, home buyers could put themselves ahead of the competition by following three simple steps:<\/p>\n

1. Establish a wish list<\/strong><\/p>\n

The more properties you inspect, the easier it can be to lose track of what you really want in a new home.<\/p>\n

Cut through the confusion by making a list of must-have features. Follow this up with a rundown of features that are nice but not essential.<\/p>\n

Having a wish list to work from can be a real time saver as it lets you focus on properties that tick all the boxes for your ideal home.<\/p>\n

2. Know what you can afford<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no room for guesswork when it comes to buying a home.<\/p>\n

Talk to us for a clear idea of your borrowing power. This lets you set a buying budget so you know which homes sit comfortably within your price range.<\/p>\n

3. Have your home loan pre-approved<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing says you\u2019re a serious buyer like having mortgage pre-approval. It\u2019s a simple step that can eliminate a large part of the stress associated with home buying.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re buying at auction, pre-approval lets you bid with confidence while setting a clear limit for your highest bid.<\/p>\n

We can help you arrange home loan pre-approval for a loan suited to your needs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll spring into action on your behalf<\/h3>\n

As the weather starts to heat back up, so too will the housing market. So if you\u2019re looking to buy, now is a good time to get organised so that you\u2019re home loan ready if the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

Call us for a personalised chat about your property goals, and discover how we can help you achieve them with a home loan that suits your needs.<\/p>\n
