Why Lack Of Deposit Should Not Prevent First Home Buyers From Getting Their Own House, Reveals Rick Otton
(PRWEB) December 08, 2013 -- “The low number of first home buyers applying for new home loans is one of the main reasons why young people are not feeling the benefits of the property boom right now,” revealed Rick Otton, an innovator on how Aussies buy and sell their houses.
Despite an 8 percent increase in home loan values to $436,000, Australia Finance Group revealed that only 10.3 percent of the loans they processed last November belonged to first home buyers, (the Australian Property Investor reported on 5 December 2013).
On a state by state analysis, first home buyer applicants in New South Wales accounted only for 2.8 percent, while in Queensland they were 6 percent.
“Inability to save for a deposit is the main reason why a lot of first home buyers are putting their applications for new home loans on the backburner. Young people just don’t have that kind of money lying around, they have to save up before they can get in,” according to Mr. Otton.
“It is harder to save in capital cities, like Sydney and Melbourne, because of the high cost of living in those areas. Rental rates, utilities, and other expenses just keep on going up so less of a perspective home buyer’s pay cheque goes toward saving for their deposit every month,” he added.
Mr. Otton asks first home buyers to try creative strategies in buying and selling houses as a solution to their home ownership woes.
“Young people, who are struggling to buy a house using the traditional process, can benefit from these strategies since it allows anyone to buy homes for sale without saving for a long time for cash deposit or even applying for new home loans with the bank,” he said during an interview for his Power Property Profits Pack.
“The good thing about these strategies is that the buyer doesn’t have to negotiate with the seller to drop the price of the homes for sale just to get in it. All they have to do is agree on flexible payment terms, so the buyer can move in to their own house the next day,” Mr. Otton explained.
