Albury Wodonga Mortgages

15/09/2026

🏡 How quickly are homes selling across Australia?

The picture varies significantly by market. Perth remains exceptionally tight, while Sydney and Melbourne are taking slightly longer to sell than this time last year.

Closer to home, Albury-Wodonga continues to show resilience, with PRD reporting annual house-price growth of around 13% across both Albury and Wodonga, despite fewer properties changing hands.

Westpac Economics also continues to highlight the importance of tight housing supply, even as higher interest rates weigh on the broader Australian market.

Thinking of buying, upgrading, investing or refinancing?

Knowing your borrowing capacity and having your finance ready can put you in a much stronger position when the right property comes along.

📩 Message me today for a home loan review or to discuss your borrowing options.

What a fantastic night connecting with the Albury business community!

As a Home Finance Manager with Westpac Albury, I had the pleasure of teaming up with Megan from St.George Albury to host a Safe as Houses conversation through Albury Business Connect at the amazing Mantra Albury.

It was a great opportunity to share some of the exciting things happening in the home finance market right now, talk through some important facts for new home buyers and answer questions around the home buying and lending process.

For me, the best part of these events is being able to take the conversation outside the office. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, so being able to have relaxed, genuine conversations, answer questions and help people better understand their options is something I really enjoy.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, to Albury Business Connect for bringing the local business community together, and to the team at Mantra Albury for being fantastic hosts.

It was a great night of conversations, connections and plenty of laughs. I’m looking forward to more opportunities to connect with the Albury Wodonga community and help make the home buying journey a little easier to navigate. 🤝🏡

📈 What’s happening in the Albury-Wodonga property market?

I recently attended a local property market update presented by PRD, and there were some pretty interesting numbers for homeowners, buyers and investors.

🏡 Albury
• Median house price: $710,250
• House prices: +13.0% over 12 months
• Median rent: $550/week
• Vacancy rate: just 1.1%

🏡 Wodonga
• Median house price: $700,000
• House prices: +12.7% over 12 months
• Median rent: $550/week
• Vacancy rate: just 0.8%

Perhaps the most interesting part is what’s happening with supply.

House sales were down 30.7% in Albury and 26.9% in Wodonga, while PRD’s research points to a continued shortage of ready-to-sell housing stock.

So what does that mean for you?

If you already own property locally, the growth over the past 12 months could mean you’ve built considerably more equity than you realise.

If you’re looking to buy, understanding your borrowing position before you find the property is becoming increasingly important.

And if you’re an investor, vacancy rates around 1% combined with limited housing supply make Albury-Wodonga a market worth keeping a close eye on.

💰 Already have a home loan?
With property values moving, it can also be a good time to review your current loan, rate and equity position. You may have options available now that weren’t available 12 months ago.

If you’d like to know where you stand, whether that’s buying, refinancing, investing or simply understanding your borrowing capacity, feel free to reach out for a chat.

When was the last time you checked your home loan? 👀

A lot can change after you buy a home.

Your income might be different. Your property value may have changed. Your goals might have changed. You might have paid down a chunk of your loan.

But your home loan? It might still be exactly the same.

That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to refinance, but it could be worth checking whether your current loan is still the right fit for you.

I can take a look at your current situation, compare your options and help you understand whether refinancing could actually make sense.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

📲 Send me a message or book a chat through the link in my bio.

Your home loan should work for where you are now, not where you were when you first got it.

🏠 I’ve really enjoyed getting out and having more conversations with different parts of our local community lately, and this is another one I’m really looking forward to.

If you’re thinking about buying, investing, refinancing or just want to understand what your options might look like, come along and have a chat.

No question is too big or too small. The goal is to make things a little clearer and hopefully have you walking away feeling more informed and confident about your next move.

A pretty special night at the Albury Wodonga Business Awards on Friday night at the SS&A Club.

This year I had the privilege of being one of the judges, which was a pretty exciting opportunity and a great way to get even more involved in our local business community.

With 220 applications and 80 finalists, there were some seriously impressive businesses and people to get through. It was a privilege to hear the stories behind so many local businesses and see the incredible work happening across Albury Wodonga.

Then came Friday night… great people, great food, plenty of laughs and a few well deserved celebrations. 🥂

A fantastic night celebrating the businesses that make our region what it is.

Very grateful to have been a small part of it. 👏
