For first home buyers of property in Darwin, there can be a number of thoughts running through your mind when it comes to finding a home. However, it's crucial to ensure that you take the correct first steps into the property market to ensure you're making a wise investment for the future.
Needs
Although apartments in Darwin can be attractive for first time buyers, planning for any future changes in lifestyle needs is important.
Those thinking of starting a family, for example, might be better to find a property that has more space for growth.
Location
When buying a home it is always important to think about what is important for your preferred style of living.
For families with young children or the potential for growing, being near parks and schools should be a top priority. However for young professionals and singles, being close to the city's best bars and cafes will likely be more important.
Amenities such as shopping precincts and public transport stations should not be forgotten for all types of buyers.
Price
Calculating a comfortable budget is vital as many first time buyers will be working on single or low incomes. It is best not to over stretch a set budget but do consider all options such as First Home Buyers Grants provided by the Northern Territory government.
