💡 Just because you can borrow $1M doesn’t mean you should. When buying a home, it’s not only about what the bank says you can afford — it’s about what you’re comfortable repaying. ✅ Set a budget that aligns with your lifestyle ✅ Focus on repayments you can manage with ease ✅ Avoid stretching yourself too far and feeling stressed Owning your home should feel like an achievement, not a burden. 🏡✨ At Sparks Finance, we’ll help you work out both your borrowing power and the right budget so you can buy with confidence (and peace of mind). 📞 Call: +61 2 6334 2534 📩 info@sparksfinance.com.au #HomeBuyingTips #MortgageBrokerBathurst #MortgageBrokerLithgow #FirstHomeBuyerNSW #BorrowingPower #SparksFinance

💡 Buying your first home? Start with your budget. If you know you can afford up to $600K, there’s no point looking at $1M homes. By setting a budget early, you’ll: ✅ Focus on properties within reach ✅ Compare similar homes at the same price point ✅ Recognise real value when you see it The result? A smarter, less stressful property search — and the confidence to act fast when the right home comes along. 🏡✨ At Sparks Finance, we’ll help you work out your borrowing power and set a realistic budget before you hit the market. #HomeBuyingTips #MortgageBrokerBathurst #MortgageBrokerLithgow #FirstHomeBuyer #BorrowingPower #PropertyTips #SparksFinance

💡 How much deposit do you really need to buy a home? The truth is — it depends on the property you’re aiming for. 👉 Example: For a $600,000 home, you could get in with just a 5% deposit ($30,000) under the government guarantee schemes. That’s why setting a budget early is so important. It helps you: ✅ Work out your savings goal ✅ Understand your borrowing power ✅ Get clear on what properties you can realistically afford The right budget = the right property, faster. 🏡✨ 📲 Ready to find out your deposit goal?
