Big changes are coming for first home buyers in Australia from October 2025. The Australian Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme changes will introduce unlimited places and higher property price caps, making it easier to purchase with just a 5% deposit while avoiding costly Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). These updates could save buyers tens of thousands and open doors to suburbs previously out of reach. Here’s what the new rules mean, how they impact affordability, and the strategies every first home buyer should know to get ahead in a competitive market.

Interest rate cuts are more than just financial news. They’re reshaping how Australians buy and sell property. With more borrowing power in play, buyers are entering the market with bigger budgets, and sellers are seeing stronger offers. But with greater opportunity also comes more competition, and knowing how to navigate this shift is key.

At Turley Property Advocates, we help clients stay one step ahead of the market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or upgrading, here’s what the recent RBA cuts could mean for your next move.

At Turley Property Advocates, we’re often asked by clients whether they can use their superannuation to invest in property and the short answer is yes, but with the right structure and advice. With growing interest in long-term wealth strategies, using your super to invest in property through a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can be a powerful way to diversify your retirement savings.

Melbourne’s property market is roaring back to life in 2025, with surging buyer demand, a chronic shortage of listings, and investors returning after a two-year hiatus. Signs of intense competition are popping up across the city, especially in the Bayside suburbs, with some agents reporting conditions they’ve never seen before.

When it comes to investing in property, time in the market is often more important than timing the market. But that doesn't mean you should set and forget. Whether you’ve owned your investment for years or just a few months, it’s worth asking: Is my property really performing?
