According to a report published by Standard & Poor, mortgage arrears are on the rise.

The upward inclination comes following the end of COVID-19 loan assistance and is likely to worsen in the second half of 2021.

With the date for expiration of mortgage deferrals approaching (March 31st), the arrear index increased to 1.37 per cent in Dec 2020, from 1.28 in the same period.

But there is more than one option for borrowers grappling through reducing or clearing out their arrears.

The low-interest rates and strong refinancing conditions currently seen in the mortgage industry can provide a lot of support and help them come out of arrears unscathed.

Are you looking to refinance your home loan?

To come out of mortgage arrears, refinancing your home loan could be the best option.

Refinancing can help you lessen your repayment burden by:

• Consolidating your debts
• Converting your loan into an interest-only rate

Our mortgage brokers are experts in getting your home loans refinanced.

Properties Getting Sold Pre-Auction In An Alarming Rate

Properties are selling before auctions in staggering numbers as buyer demand rises and stocks stay low.

The number of properties selling pre-auction is at a 20-year high in Sydney and a ten-year high in Melbourne.

The unravelling of this data has put many buyers in a panic about not being able to buy the properties of their liking at an auction.

However, buyers need not panic as it is mostly only one type of property that is being sold off the auctions.

While houses and townhouses are in high demand, apartments are still plentiful and high seller expectations are keeping plenty of options on the market for buyers.
