As a landlord, your investment property is one of your most valuable assets. Naturally, you want to protect it, maintain its value, and avoid unnecessary costs. One of the simplest but most effective ways property managers achieve this is through regular routine inspections. These inspections aren’t just a quick walk-through—they’re a proactive measure that can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
The expanded First Home Guarantee represents a major shift in housing affordability policy. Launching early in October 2025, it removes income and participant caps, lifts property value limits, and reduces the deposit hurdle to just 5 per cent without the need for LMI.
For first-home buyers, this is a genuine opportunity to enter the market sooner. For sellers, particularly those with properties priced near the new caps, the expanded buyer pool could present the perfect moment to sell.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the property market lately, you may have noticed a clear trend: there are fewer homes for sale compared to this time last year. This shift in supply has a big impact on both buyers and sellers, understanding what it means can help you make smarter decisions in today’s market.
