With the arrival of autumn, we can expect the housing market will slow a little. But the cooler months can be a good time to buy and sell, as there’s less stock on the market and this can work to your advantage.

BankSA has a great range of products and services to help you find and secure your new property, no matter where the location, or whether it’s a residential or an investment property.

We know there’s a lot to consider when looking for real estate and we’ve developed a handy Home Buyer’s Checklist to download and help you keep track of each property you visit.

It includes a section for recording details such as: the property’s address; date visited; real estate agent details; asking price or auction range; council rates; water rates; what’s included in the sales such as floor coverings and appliances; condition of the building and neighbourhood details including public transport, shopping and facilities.

The checklists can be filed away and will really help you keep track of each property and its strong and weak points; what you liked about each and who to keep in touch with.
