Summary
Planning to buy property in Sydney from overseas before the year ends? Whether you’re in Singapore, Europe or the US, here’s what you need to know right now:
– Lending rules for expats have changed—affecting borrowing power
– Buyer competition is heating up in key Sydney suburbs this Spring
– Off-market access and a local expert are essential for success
1. Lending Has Tightened for Expats
If you’re earning income overseas, lending isn’t as straightforward as it once was. In recent months, we’ve seen:
– Increased income shading (up to 40% discount applied to foreign income)
– Stricter documentation and postcode restrictions
This makes early preparation with a specialist expat mortgage broker critical. We work closely with trusted lending partners who understand the nuances of expat lending and can navigate complex structures efficiently.
2. Buyer Activity Is Building Across Our Core Markets
Across our key areas—Lower North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Inner City, Upper North Shore and Hills District—we’ve seen a marked increase in buyer activity this Spring.
Inspection numbers are up, pre-auction interest is strong, and well-presented homes are attracting multiple parties—often within days of listing.
We’ll help you navigate multiple legislation changes, local trends, and price movements with clarity.
