First Home

your first home is an exciting time, but it can also be challenging if you don’t know where to start.

Understanding the home buying process and real estate terminology can be difficult and, with property prices high in many parts of the country, buying a home can be very expensive so it’s important to get it right.

Brilliant Earth Real Estate has compiled this guide to answer the most common questions you might have about buying your first home. It’s designed to provide you with general advice to navigate the home-buying process from start to finish so you can make informed decisions when it comes to your first property purchase.

The key benefits and risks you need to know before buying a unique home

Properties with owner-occupier appeal and a price close to the median of the area tend to have strong prospects for capital growth, as these homes appeal to the broadest market of buyers.

But not everyone’s situation is the same, and what’s considered a typical home might not suit your requirements, budget and personal taste.

Homes with features above and beyond the norm of the area often have higher price tags, but the unique nature of these homes means supply is inherently limited.

This can lead to higher-than-average price growth if there is strong demand for that particular type of property.

How to set a budget for buying your first home

It’s tempting to base your budget on properties available for sale in your favourite suburb but, ultimately, if you’re a first-home buyer, your budget will be based on how much money you can borrow.It’s wise to speak to a bank, lender or mortgage broker at the very beginning of your home-buying journey. Even if you don’t have a big deposit saved, they will be able to advise on how much you will need for a deposit for the kind of properties you are interested in, which gives you a goal to aim towards.

They may also help you realign your expectations, as your ideal suburb or property type may be more expensive than you can afford as a first-home buyer.

The Man, the Myth, the Watchmaker

Pierre-Yves Müller, the notorious Swiss watch maker, is sitting in a minimalistic garden chair outside his house located in the heart of fairy tale Swiss Alps. FashionFreaks were lucky enough to get an interview with this mysterious precision watchmaker.

It strikes me the second I see him, this man is the real deal. Well groomed fingers with nails trimmed to perfection. These hands are his tools and they are taken care of in the same manner an auto repairman takes care of his tools.

Pierre-Yves greets us with a conservative smile, there is no room for small talk in this interview. But small talk is not necessary, we want to know everything about the man and his company, Tick Tock, Tick Tock...
