New home buyers should first evaluate their financial situation, decide on a budget, save for a deposit, research the property market and get a mortgage pre-approval before going out into the market. They are also advised to meet with a financial advisor or a mortgage broker to provide guidance about their next steps in home buying. You should also attend a few open houses and property inspections as these will give you a clearer perspective of the market and building conditions.

Set your budget, start saving your deposit, and get pre-approval so you can build with confidence. Even having a clear plan is a huge first step.

Domaine Homes partners with Construction Loan Specialists, who can advise you on your particular situation and your options with home financing. We know it’s important to consider every aspect of buying your dream home, including the financial demand, which is why we can connect you to professionals who will do the legwork for you, so you know exactly how much you can borrow. 

Research on local areas always helps, visit open houses, inspections, and display homes. Seeing things in person makes it so much easier to compare and decide.

Think about how you live day to day through to entertaining, working from home, kids, and storage. Then choose a layout that supports your routine.

Start with the lifestyle wins you’ll use every day, like extra storage, a bigger alfresco, or a dedicated space for a study or media room.

Ask lots of questions, compare inclusions, and keep your budget and pre-approval clear.

At Domaine Homes, we’re proud to be transparent to ensure you’re clear on the process, every step of the way. When we give you a price, you can trust it has covered everything, including site costs.
