Mortgage Broker in Wollongong
Wollongong has grown from steel city into one of the most liveable coastal cities in NSW, with beaches, a university and an easier commute to Sydney than people expect. Wherever you're at, I can help even though I'm Sydney based.
About eighty kilometres south of Sydney, Wollongong has reinvented itself around health, education and tech while keeping its beaches and harbour. The University of Wollongong, the hospital and the South Coast rail line all feed steady demand, and plenty of Sydney buyers priced out of the city are relocating down here. The housing runs from older coastal cottages to a growing apartment market in North Wollongong and the CBD. Houses have often traded in the low-to-mid $1 millions and units below that, though the figures move.
More house for your money than Sydney
For first home buyers and relocating families, Wollongong can offer a lot more space than most of Sydney while still being a real city with jobs, beaches and a train line to town. Government schemes can help with the deposit, and lower prices mean a house rather than just a unit may be within reach. Scheme rules change, so it's worth checking where you stand rather than assuming last year's limits. Start with how much can I borrow.
