The Wagga Wagga property market is like any other and is subject to fluctuation.

The perception Australia wide is that we are experiencing a flat market and now is not the time to sell.

What we mean by that is if you achieve current market value for your property and pay market value for the home you purchase it is a palatable transaction.

Buying and selling property is one of the single biggest decisions we can make.

Get walking!

Apart from the obvious benefits to your health, walking around a suburb will give you a real feel for the neighbourhood vibe and local amenities.

You can, among other things, determine walking distance to local schools, shops or parks and get a feel for traffic volume on particular streets.

Have you taken a look at the banking reforms that were introduced on 1 July?

The first reform is the ban on mortgage exit fees on new loans but it's to be followed by a number of others over the next 12 months, subject to legislation.
