In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Distinctive Finance, we break down the key market shifts shaping property decisions as we head towards the end of 2025 and what it all means for legal professionals preparing to buy.
Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Distinctive Finance founders and directors Christian Goodall and Mitchell Lobb to discuss what the Reserve Bank’s recent inaction signals for buyers, how the expanded First Home Guarantee is opening new opportunities, why banks are forecasting potential rate changes in the year ahead, and whether fixed rate options may play a bigger role moving forward.
Goodall and Lobb also explore how legal professionals can position themselves for success, from making the most of the First Home Guarantee and navigating increased market competition, to getting tax documents in order, reviewing lending options, and preparing strategically before the holiday season. They share practical steps to get purchase-ready and insights into what the new year may bring.
