Another rate rise 😩 And if you’re trying to buy your first home right now, that probably wasn’t the news you wanted this week.

But it wasn’t the only thing that changed.

Buyers have more choice, sellers are negotiating more, and there are still things you can control - even when the market keeps moving around you.

So tell me honestly... how are you feeling after this week’s rate rise?

More nervous?
Frustrated?
Still determined?
Or has it changed your plans?

Tell me below 👇🏽 I genuinely want to know.

There’s something empowering about solidifying your number before you start negotiating. It gives you a place to stand.

Loved this perspective from Aaron Hendon on The First Home Playbook podcast 🫶🏽

Ever feel like you should know more about buying your first home than you actually do? 🫣

Double tap if you needed this reminder, and save this post for the days when you’re overthinking everything 💗

There’s a LOT happening in the property market that we have no control over.

And that uncertainty and lack of control can feel so overwhelming (and anxiety-provoking), especially when you’re trying to buy your first home.

But here’s what you DO have a say in…

✅ Your money habits

✅ Your savings

✅ Your decisions

✅ Your pace

✅ And what feels financially comfortable for YOU.

And that’s something.

It might not feel like a lot, but shifting your attention away from everything you CAN’T control and towards what you CAN influence helps you feel more in control of your own journey.

When you feel more in control, you’re in a much better headspace to make smart purchasing decisions.

Save this for the next time the property market starts feeling a little overwhelming, or share with a friend who needs this 💗

This week was a mixed bag for first home buyers 👇🏽

Prices softened, borrowing power tightened, sellers lost some leverage, and another rate rise is still on the table.

So the takeaway this week isn’t “wait” - and it isn’t “rush”...

It’s this 👉🏽 get clear on your numbers, understand your options, and make decisions from certainty instead of noise. That’s where your power is.

Save this for the week ahead, and follow for more first home buyer weekly updates🏡
