Option Home Loans - Insights into Aussies’ finances

Brokernews.com.au published recently an article of the 2019 Consumer Pulse Report surveyed over 2,000 Australians to get insights into current trends and how they’re likely to play out into the future.

“According to the data, less Australians are worried about mortgage interest rate movements than in years previous. Just 7% named it as their biggest financial concern for the year ahead in 2019 as compared to 9% last year.”

“However, concern over debt as a whole has risen, with 7% naming mounting debt levels as their leading concern for the year ahead as compared to 5% in 2018.”

“Just over a quarter (26%) of Australians reported they spend more than they earn, don’t save regularly and don’t limit their debts. The average debt outside of property loans rests at $48,809.”

“The respondents communicated credit cards are their biggest downfall, giving way to ‘accidental debt’ through spending rather the considered decision of taking out a loan and, without the discipline of a fixed repayment plan, it tends to linger longer.”

 

New Year is a great time to learn how to manage your finance

“Buying your own home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. Important things to consider before applying for a home loan are (1) how much do you need to save for a home loan? (2) choosing your home loan (3) check your lender is licensed, and (4) tips once you get a mortgage.” (moneysmart.gov.au)

“Before you look for a property to buy, you need to get your finances in order. Remember to consider extra costs like stamp duty, legal fees, lender’s mortgage insurance, land and water rates, home and contents insurance and repairs when working out if you can afford a home loan.” (moneysmart.gov.au)

For example, our home repayment calculator gives you an estimate of what your weekly, fortnightly, and monthly loan repayments will be. You will also see what the total interest payments are over the life of your loan including the total repayment figure.
