Property story: 26yr old buying first home with new partner

Listen in today to hear all about a 26 year old from Wollongong, south of Sydney realise her property dreams and buy her first home with her partner. She shares all about growing up in an average income household and with a mother that was very money conscious who passed along her knowledge, experience and wisdom to shape her relationship with money and mindset as an adult. She was able to stay at home while her and her partner were saving like crazy and was able to buy their first home in the height of the covid 2021 peak pricing at approximately $780,000. Though their relationship was fairly new when they decided to buy a home, she and her partner were on the same page with their money and property goals. This helped the process considerably with both of them writing their individual property briefs and comparing them to find they were incredibly similar. We hear all about the process of finding and working with a mortgage broker, pricing, and the stress of loan applications. She talks about feeling demoralised early on in the inspection process due to houses selling for a hundred thousand dollars more than they were listed. Tune in to hear all of her advice regarding how to connect with the real estate agent, add unique touches to the offer (even a signed poster of their favourite sportsman!), balancing risk with removing finance clauses and building and pest inspections, and how they found their perfect first home.
