    I want to sell - now what?

    Selling a property sounds simple, and with homes turning over faster than ever, vendors are keen to list and get the best price they can while the market’s hot. But selling can come with unexpected costs and roadblocks. Sharing her expert advice on all things selling, Shelley Craft, host of The Block and licensed real estate agent, joins us this episode. Then we dig into Domain’s annual First Home Buyer Report, released this week. It shows the time to save for a 20% deposit on an entry-priced home has soared six months in Sydney, Hobart and Darwin and by 9 months in Canberra - in just one year. To unpack the results, and what it means for the broader market, is report author Dr Nicola Powell, senior research analyst at Domain. 00:36 I want to sell - now what? 15:40 Unpacking Domain’s First Home Buyer Report ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

    How to find a property bargain

    The market’s hot. We know this. But is it even possible to find a bargain when prices have been rising so rapidly and demand is so high? In this episode of Propety Unpacked, Julie DeBondt-Barker, the founding director of Property Home Base, explains how to differentiate between a property bargain and a property lemon. Then, to unpack the rising trend of Australians moving from bigger cities to smaller cities, Simon Kuestenmacher, the co-founder & director of research at The Demographics Group, joins us. 00:35 How to find a property bargain 13:30 Moving to smaller cities ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

  4. How to start investing

    How to start investing

    It seems property investing may be making a comeback: investor lending is on the rise for the first time in years and properties are still selling like hotcakes in today’s climate. And, contrary to what we sometimes see in the media, you don’t need to be a mogul with 25 properties to be considered an investor. So where do you begin on this journey and what are the risks involved for the average person? To unpack and explain the world of owning a portfolio, Founder and Managing Director of Empower Wealth Ben Kingsley chats with us on this week’s episode. Then, Lifestyle Editor Ash Austen shares the best ways to fill your home with character. 00:39 Starting a property portfolio 17:10 How to add character to your home ----- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

    Will the market stay ‘hot’?

    Is the hot property market here to stay, or are things starting to slow down? After rapid price growth across nearly every part of the country this year, we’re starting to hear rustles in the wind that the property market may shift gears soon. To discuss the year that we’ve had thus far, and what we’re likely to see through the next three to six months, we’re joined on this week’s episode by independent economist Saul Eslake. Then, we explore one of the most unusual but intriguing home features in the country: the ACT’s energy efficiency rating, and whether other states should adopt it, with AllHomes Editor Josie Huynh. 00:40 Market update 17:10 What an Energy Efficiency Rating means ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

  6. Does rent-to-buy work?

    Does rent-to-buy work?

    Getting into the property market at the moment can feel near impossible for a lot of Australians, plus it’s causing some buyers to rush their purchase and nab whatever they can, before they know if they even like the neighbourhood. One option that’s emerged is “rent with the option to buy” - certainly different to how the market usually works. It’s offered by Assemble Communities; and to explain, the managing director Kris Daff joins us this week. Then, we chat about the federal budget and how it impacts the property and housing market, with Domain reporter Kate Burke and Domain deputy news editor Elizabeth Redman, who’ve pored over the budget papers. 00:43 What is rent-to-buy? 13:10 The federal budget and property ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

  7. The easy things to do so your home can save you money

    The easy things to do so your home can save you money

    Regardless of where you live, the weather’s changing - and in many cities, getting much cooler. Many of us will turn up the heating but it may still feel pretty cold. In many cases Australian houses, even more modern ones, aren’t built for our extreme weather conditions. So, apart from tearing down our home and starting again, what can be done? In some cases, retrofitting can help. Not only can it keep us warmer or cooler but it encourages better energy efficiency, which in turn saves money on bills. Dr Trivess Moore from RMIT University, and a member of the Sustainable Building Innovation Laboratory, joins us to discuss retrofitting and how to do it. Then, we hear how some toilets are becoming smarter than the average person from Lifestyle Producer Jessica Dale. 00:42 How to retrofit your home 18:08 The latest tech in toilets ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.

  8. The hidden costs of buying a property

    The hidden costs of buying a property

    It’s really easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying a property but what many buyers often forget is that it’s not just the price paid for said property that’s important to budget for. There are all sorts of other associated costs with buying, and because lots of them aren’t particularly exciting, they can easily be overlooked - at the buyer’s peril. To help prepare us prior to purchase, Domain Advice Editor Daniel Butkovich joins us this week. We also get an update on the property market for apartments and what’s driving prices down in certain areas across the country with Elizabeth Redman, Domain’s Deputy News Editor. 00:42 Why are sellers copping losses of up to 40% in some cities? 14:05 The hidden costs of buying ---- The information in this post is general in nature and should not be considered personal or financial advice.You should always seek professional advice or assistance before making any financial decisions.
