Common Mistakes First Home Buyers Make

Mistakes First Home Buyers Make in Australia

Buying your first home is exciting — but it’s also full of traps if you’re not prepared. I’ve helped many first home buyers through the process, and I see the same mistakes all the time.

Mistake #1: Only Looking at Interest Rates

Low rates look good on paper, but features like redraw and offset can save more in the long run.

Mistake #2: Shopping Without Pre-Approval

Without pre-approval, you risk falling for a property that’s outside your actual price range.

Mistake #3: Trying to DIY Everything

Free advice is everywhere, but it rarely accounts for your full financial picture.
