The talk of the bubble bursting is never ending, and a fortnight ago we did see Sydney prices drop (albeit by 0.2%).

Today however SMH are reporting that prices last week rose in Sydney by 0.9%, and while the auction clearance rate was lower at 70% the prices continued to be strong.

So, what do this mean?

First off, sight fluctuations like this are going to happen depending what exactly is on offer each week. So, whilst it’s interesting to look at, weekly results are not going to be the best way to gauge the overall picture or trend.

Secondly, while other markets are looking different the Sydney market is strong and is continuing to perform this way.

And like we always say, no two situations are the same. Give us a call today and we can talk about your own situation.

We get it, UBank (owned by NAB) are supposed to be the cool, younger sibling to the NAB. They are 100% online, and claim to be making the banking process easier.

We don’t buy it. When it comes to the biggest purchase you are going to make in your life – your home, we think you should be working with a real person who understands that not every situation is the same and that they can’t find out all about your situation in 28 questions.

Getting a loan can be confusing, especially if you aren’t familiar with the process or across the ins and outs of your finance situation. This is why working with a mortgage broker can take the stress out of the process, and find the best solution for your personal situation.

Thanks UBank, but you can keep your robots. Get in touch today and let’s do this face to face.

Read the fill SMH article here on the UBank Robot.
