W
hile the European debt crisis and U.S. economic decline are grabbing headlines, a Reserve Bank of Australia official has stated that Australia's housing market will likely avoid a U.S.-style slump because our lending standards are higher and borrowers are able to pay down debt faster than required. Luci Ellis, head of financial stability at the RBA, said there's no reason the Australian housing market will go from boom to bust like the U.S. did, although she urged mortgage lenders to 'refrain from easing lending standards' as some American institutions did. Despite unsettling economic conditions internationally, there has recently been a modest improvement in global performance which gave the Reserve Bank reason to halt its current rate cutting cycle. Minutes of the last Reserve Bank Board meeting confirm that policymakers saw that 'activity in the United States had been strengthening over recent months' and 'while the financial situation in Europe remained fragile, the likelihood of an extremely bad outcome seemed to have diminished somewhat'. In terms of our domestic performance, the Reserve Bank was well aware that 'conditions in a number of other sectors remained subdued'. However, this was offset by 'investment in the resources sector which was expanding at a rapid pace' and 'was expected to have some positive spinoffs for a number of other sectors'. Inflation has been well contained by the RBA recently so there is still potential for a further easing of monetary policy, however the powers that be are being particularly strategic in the timing of any future rate cuts. The next round of inflation data, which is due in late April, is likely to provide a clearer indication of the inflation landscape and whether more rate cuts are warranted. While the increased number of people at open homes indicates that buyer sentiment is on the up, borrowers are still holding out hope of a rate cut which will come as a welcome reprieve.

THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO AUCTIONS So you've found your dream home and you want to make it yours now! There's just one hurdle, it's up for auction. How do you prepare for this type of sale and how do you remain cool and calm on the day?
T
here ’s no denying it, for first home buyers especially, an auction can be exciting, stressful and maybe even a little terrifying if you don't know what to expect. The good news is that with the right planning and helpful guidance from a professional real estate agent such as One Agency, you can own your dream home and secure it at a price that matches your budget and it's true value. Before you bid on a property you need to make sure you have completed all of the essential research and preparation. This includes undertaking building inspections, securing your finance and reading the contract of sale, including the Vendor's Statement which includes information about rates, local government building restrictions and easements (if any). You may even want to ask your conveyancer or lawyer to check the fine print. Do some exploring in the area in which you wish to buy. You may want to check out median house price information or review the past sales results of properties in the vicinity to ensure you have a realistic purchase price in mind. An auction is usually held at the property itself. When you plan to bid at the auction you need to register your details when you arrive. Ensure you arrive early on the day so you can take one last look around the property. You'll also feel more relaxed and level headed if you have time to spare. Attending other auctions in the lead up to yours is also a great way to become accustomed to their pace and procedure. At the beginning of proceedings the auctioneer will describe the property and describe the contract. They will then begin taking bids. This is when the excitement really builds. Some buyers take along a friend or family member who bids for them if the task is a little daunting. As the auction unfolds don't be afraid to bid strongly and confidently, letting others know you mean business. If you are successful at the auction you'll be asked to sign the contracts and pay the deposit, so don't forget your cheque book! Once that's finalised, the only thing left to do is celebrate. You've jumped that last hurdle and bought yourself a home.
