Episode Synopsis: 5 Common Mistakes First Home Buyers Make Welcome back to another episode of Talk Property To Me! I'm your host, Brad East, alongside my co-host, Aaron Downie. In today's episode, we dive into a topic that resonates with many: the five common mistakes that first home buyers often make. We kick things off by discussing the pitfalls of taking too much advice from family and friends, particularly parents. While they may have good intentions, their experiences from decades ago may not apply to today's competitive market. We share a cautionary tale about a client whose father's advice led to a significant financial loss during a property auction. This highlights the importance of trusting professionals in the industry, such as mortgage brokers and buyer's agents, who can provide tailored advice based on current market conditions. Next, we address the tendency of first home buyers to overextend themselves financially in an attempt to keep up with their peers. We emphasise the importance of understanding your own financial situation and making decisions based on your long-term goals rather than ego or status. We encourage listeners to take the slow and steady approach, focusing on affordability and potential for future equity growth. Moving on, we discuss the critical mistake of not obtaining an independent pest and building report. We stress the importance of hiring qualified inspectors to ensure that buyers are fully aware of any potential issues with a property, rather than relying on reports provided by real estate agents, which may not be thorough. We also touch on the dangers of copying others' strategies without considering personal circumstances. Each buyer's situation is unique, and it's essential to align property purchases with individual goals, whether that means buying a home to live in or pursuing a rent-vesting strategy. Finally, we tackle the common misconception that waiting for market conditions to improve or trying to save more money will lead to better opportunities. We illustrate this with a real-life example of a first home buyer who hesitated to purchase a property within his budget, only to find that market prices were rising faster than he could save. We encourage listeners to act when they are ready, as capital growth can often outpace savings. Throughout the episode, we provide valuable insights and practical advice for first home buyers, urging them to make informed decisions based on their unique circumstances. If you have any topics you'd like us to cover in future episodes, feel free to reach out in the comments or send us a message. Thanks for tuning in, and we look forward to seeing you next time! 00:00:00 - Introduction to Common Mistakes for First Home Buyers 00:00:12 - Mistake #1: Over Reliance on Family Advice 00:04:26 - Mistake #2: Keeping Up with Friends and Overextending Financially 00:06:36 - Mistake #3: Skipping Pest and Building Inspections 00:10:10 - Mistake #4: Copying Others' Strategies 00:12:03 - Mistake #5: Waiting for Better Market Conditions 00:16:01 - Conclusion and Call for Topics ABOUT THE HOSTS BRAD EAST Brad East is the Managing Director of Wisebuy Home Loans.

When it comes to building codes, electrical work, plumbing, and more. Did one man truly risk thousands and thousands of people's safety to make more money? The latest allegations surrounding home and building inspection company owner Randy Ferrell include claims that his firm didn't truly inspect work done on homes and businesses to ensure they were safe and that unlicensed contractors were illegally doing work on area houses and buildings. How do we know if these structures are truly safe? New Orleans Inspector General Ed Mihcel joins guest host Dave Cohen to discuss the dangers of cutting corners and cheating the inspection process.

Interview with Jim's Building Inspections franchise owner, Adam Ahmed about his Jim's Journey! A must listen for any builder who is looking for an exit.
Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk speaks to Susana Lei'ataua about the government moving to force building inspections to be done remotely - which it said will make building a home easier and faster. It's the latest in raft of changes the coalition has introduced to try and get more homes built, including removing minimum floor area requirements and freeing up land so cities can more easily expand outwards.
The government wants to make remote virtual inspections the default for building consents and is pointing to a small council as a model. Remote inspections already take place at South Canterbury's Mackenzie District Council. Tina Donald was the council's regulatory manager, until earlier this week. She spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
A Canterbury construction boss says remote building inspections is one of several tools that could speed up the building process. The Government says the current in-person inspections mean long delays as builders stop work while they wait for an available appointment. David Reid Homes Canterbury Director of Construction, Carl Fordyce told Andrew Dickens remote inspections sped things up during Covid-times. But, he says, a look at the consenting and resource management processes is where both time and cost could be saved. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Government aims to make virtual inspections the default for building consents across the country. Some councils have expressed reluctance around remote inspections, while others have embraced it. Minister for Building and Construction Chris Penk says there are mitigations in place to avoid complications. "For example, there's a geolocator function in the app that says you can pinpoint the property that's being inspected." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some building companies are fed up with long waiting times for inspections. There's a seven-week delay to get routine on-site building inspections from the Christchurch City Council.

De Minimis Violations, Building Inspections. The host for this show is Raelene Tenno. The guest is R. Laree McGuire. Our discussion today is about SB 2876 and HB 1784. SB 2876 prohibits planned community associations, condominium associations, or their boards of directors from expending association funds to enforce de minimis violations of association rules or regulations that do not pose risks to the health and safety of other members, units, or unit owners. HB 1784 will require periodic inspections of certain walls and appurtenances of buildings five or more stories in height. It requires the state building code council to review the periodic inspection reports.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending December 11th, 2021... new FHFA conforming loans limits, tappable equity at a record high, and where drones may be used to inspect buildings.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Economic News We begin with economic news from this past week, including a report that shows inflation has hit a 39-year-high. The government reported a .8% increase in consumer prices last month. That puts the yearly rate at 6.8% which is more than 3 times the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Higher prices for gas, motor vehicles, housing, and food account for most of the increase. The Fed expects inflation to fall below the 3% level by the end of next year. Some economists expect it to take longer. (1) The latest unemployment report shows that initial claims dropped to just 184,000. That's the lowest level since 1969. The government adjusts the numbers for seasonal employment so they may be skewed somewhat, but as MarketWatch reports, they are extremely low and economists expect them to go even lower as the economy continues to strengthen. There's also a worker shortage so many employers are hesitant to let people go. (2) Even if they aren't firing workers, there's been a surge in the number of people leaving or switching jobs. As MarketWatch reports, almost 39 million people have quit their jobs this year. That includes a record 4.4 million in September. Economists expect the year to end with a record-high quits rate. Some are calling this trend “The Great Resignation.” (3)Consumer sentiment turned positive in December, although many Americans are still worried about inflation. The University of Michigan index rose to 70.4. That's up three points from the November reading, but down about 10 points from a year ago. (4)Mortgage RatesMortgage rates are still close to the 3% level. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down one basis point to 3.1% last week. The 15-year was also down one point, to 2.38%. (5)In other news making headlines…Conforming Loan Limits Move HigherThe Federal Housing Finance Agency released final figures on conforming loan limits for 2022. For most of the nation, the maximum amount will be $647,200.The maximum moves above the baseline amount for more expensive areas like the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City, and others. The highest amount rises to almost a million dollars in those pricier locations, to $970,800. That's 150% above the baseline amount. (6)New Record High for Housing Prices Home prices are a moving target and continue to move higher although price growth has slowed down a bit. Redfin says the median home sale price rose to a new high during the four-week period that ended on December 5th. It says the median price is now $360,250. That's 14% higher than it was a year earlier, and 30% higher from December of 2019. (7)The average sale-to-list price ratio was 100.5%. That means the average home sold at .5% over it's listing price. That's only the average. In 43% of the transactions, homes sold for more than the listing price. In 31% of the sales, sellers accepted an offer within one week of the homes hitting the market.Tappable Equity SurgesSkyrocketing prices are giving property owners a lot of equity. Black Knight says total U.S. home equity was up $250 billion in the third quarter to a total of $9.4 trillion. That's 32% higher than the same time last year. AND it's almost 90% higher than it was right before the housing market collapsed into the Great Recession. (8)Black Knight's data and analytics president Ben Graboske says: “That works out to nearly $178,000 available in tappable equity to the average homeowner with a mortgage before hitting a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio of 80%.”Average mortgage debt is now down to 45.2% thanks to higher prices. That's giving consumers and investors more tappable equity that can be used for other purposes such as home improvements or the purchase of investment properties. Building Inspections with Drones?Drones could be the next great tool for New York building inspectors. They usually perform their inspections using binoculars and cameras from the street, and sometimes from the roofs of other buildings. Construction Dive reports that the city may soon authorize the use of drones for those inspections. (9)Officials say they could “yield more detailed results and greater safety, as well as greater efficiency and documentation.”That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.

More and more, we are realising that getting a pre-purchase building inspection is necessary when buying property. While a bad report may not deter you from buying the property, at least you are armed with the knowledge of what needs to be done, and what it will cost, so you can bid on the property accordingly. Today, we will find out more about how you can use your pre-purchase building inspection to your advantage. With over 20 years in the building and construction industry, Bill Pastou is a building consultant and franchise owner of Jim's Building Inspections- Northcote. He's passionate about everything to do with building and keeps a keen eye on real estate in Melbourne's Inner North. Respected in the real estate industry for his efficiency and comprehensive reports, Bill is one of the leading building inspectors in Melbourne. 1. What is a pre-purchase building inspection? 2. How much would one cost? 3. What is involved? a). How much notice do buyers need to give you and what's your turnaround? b). Do you contact the agent to organise the inspection, or do you turn up with the buyer? 4. If I saw a property this weekend that was going to auction the following weekend and I wanted you to do an inspection on it, would that be enough time to buy the property? 5. How often do you tell a buyer that it's not a sound property? or is it more that they are informed and purchase the home knowing they will need to spend more money to get it right? 6. How many pre-purchase inspections do most buyers do before they actually buy a property? OFFER: You can get 10% off your building and pest inspections when you mention Real Estate Right Podcast.

Pest & Building inspections and reports are an important part of the pre-purchase due diligence process. They provide independent information on the quality of the structure and give us an insight into any “skeletons in the closet” or problems the buyer needs to look at rectifying after the purchase. Join myself and John Markham (Building Inspector from Jim’s Building Inspections) as we discuss how to navigate your way through a Pest & Building Report as well as some of the “big ticket items” that commonly come up in these reports – and what they really mean.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
