One of our favourite and most satisfying tasks as mortgage brokers at Smartline Rockingham is helping families obtain financing for their first homes. We love all aspects of our job but there is nothing like the look on a homebuyer’s face when they are approved for that first home loan.

Recently, an interesting profile on people saving for their first home deposit came to light. According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), confident savers tend to obtain their first homes faster than those who don’t have as much confidence. That is because their confidence leads them to specific behaviours that make them more likely to save up for their deposits faster.

Planning Breeds Confidence

For most, confidence is in the planning. You need a destination in the form of goals and a timeframe to help get you there. For example, how much money do you want to spend on a home? You will need a 20% deposit. How much can you save and how long will it take you to get your deposit? How much are you willing to put away every week for your deposit? What specific date do you want to buy your first home?

If you answer these questions, then it’s just a matter of executing your plan. And the best way to get started is to talk to a mortgage broker who can let you know how much you will be able to borrow and help you plan your savings.
