It appears that buying an investment property continues to be a major goal in the minds of Australians – something that mortgage brokers could no doubt benefit from.
Realestate.com.au conducted a survey that examined what sort of property-based New Year’s resolutions Aussies had made. It turns out that saving up for investment real estate, as well as selling their home in order to upsize, were both the two most commonly cited goals.
In fact, respondents from Victoria showed the most interest in buying an investment property, with 19 per cent having begun saving for one. Many people from Tasmania (16 per cent) and Queensland (15 per cent) also attributed this to be a New Year’s resolution.
Interestingly, almost 25 per cent of Northern Territory respondents said that this would be the year for them to buy a home for the very first time. In addition, the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia noted that 46 per cent of respondents had actually started saving for a deposit for their home loan.
