According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more first home buyers are entering the market now than at any time in the last 3 years, which correlates pretty directly with the implementation of the First Home Owner Grant and the stamp duty discounts coming into play back in July.
What do you think, are the government doing enough to help First Home Buyers get a foothold in an expensive market?

Government policies have caused a "dramatic increase" in the involvement of first-home buyers in the market, says Tim Reardon of the HIA.

Something I've noticed among Real Estate Agents is that there's a lot of asking for things and not a whole lot of providing value. Starting now I'd like to reverse that. I'll be posting videos from this page with the sole purpose of answering the most common questions I see people face. If you have any questions or dilemmas of your own, please post them below of privately and I'll do my best to answer them. Tyler.

A beautiful day to wrap up a beautiful sale. 3/133 Grove Road has been one of the smoothest transactions I've been lucky enough to deal with yet.

Our vendor, Mara, and her lovely daughter Dani were very honest and open with me throughout the whole sale process, and as a result we were able to operate the inspections with almost no inconvenience to their day-to-day lives whatsoever. The sale was wrapped up in only two weeks, and needless to say, Mara (who suffers extreme back pain) was thrilled to get the process over with in such a small amount of time.

Moral of the story, tell your agent exactly what you want, and ask them to be open with you too. Effective communication will always garner the best possible result.

12 Saltbreeze Boulevard, Armstrong Creek is SOLD. This was an unconditional sale, meaning the purchaser already had their finances in order with no risk of the sale falling through.

Unconditional offers are often appealing to the vendors selling the home, as it gives them the peace of mind that comes with knowing your sale has been completed. If you're ever in a bidding war against another purchaser and you're able to make your offer unconditional, it could make the difference between whether or not you walk away with a new home.

30 Ward St, Bell Post Hill has officially moved from "under contract" to SOLD!!

For anyone who might not know the difference, a property is "under contract" when the Purchasers offer has been accepted by the Vendor, pending the approval of the Purchasers finance. In some cases, if a loan is not approved within 2 weeks, these deals can fall through. In this case there were no issues with the finance and our Purchaser is now the proud owner of 30 Ward Street!

I wanted to create this page so that I could interact more effectively with the most important part of Real Estate, the people. My goal will be to help educate more people on the basics of this business, and how to overcome the challenges that come along with purchasing or selling a home. As I learn more and more about the industry, I want to pass as much of that knowledge as I can to the people I'm closest with. From investment to development or even renting, I encourage you to voice your own input, or to ask the questions that come to mind. Thanks for taking the time to like the page. Tyler
