WATCH THIS to understand buyers behaviours post budget.

Buying a home is a complicated process, and it's even harder to navigate when interest rates, lending requirements, and government policies are constantly changing. In this episode of the Home Buyer Series, I sat down with mortgage broker Aleks Naumoski to break down what these changes mean for Australians in the property market. We discuss: • How interest rate rises are reducing first home buyer borrowing power • The serviceability buffer explained — and why it adds 3% on top of your rate • Three distinct borrower cohorts and how each is responding to the current market • The 2020 HomeBuilder grant and how government housing policy can backfire • How young buyers are using alternative asset classes to save for deposits • Lending options for self-employed borrowers who haven't finalised their accounts Let us know your thoughts on this week's episode in the comments below!
