Buying a first home is a major milestone for many young Australians, but it is also a massive financial commitment, which requires detailed planning and a lot of decision-making. Of all the choices to make, finding the right location for your first home may be the most important and hardest.

If, like many other first time home buyers, you want your first home to be comfortable for now, but also a good investment in your future, then picking the right suburb should be a top priority. The location of a home will affect your quality of living, time and money spend on travelling, and how much your home’s value will grow over time. Fortunately, there are a few consistent features to look out for in suburbs that are ideal for first time home buyers.

Current amenities and schools

Living in suburb close to a variety of amenities such as shops, parks, recreational areas and public transport will make your life much easier, but also have good potential to show property value growth in a few years. Look out for a variety of good schools in the area. Even if you don’t have children, schools can make certain suburbs very popular with families and being close to a school increases your chances of selling or renting your home easily and at a good price (should you ever decide to move).

Growing infrastructure

Not only should you look for established amenities and infrastructure in a good suburb, but also try to find out if there will be any new developments or upgrades to current amenities happening in the near future. Once these developments are complete, it has the potential to turn a slightly older or less desirable suburb into a highly sought after location, that shows rapid growth.

Sales and rental data

Do your homework and look at the property reports of homes in various suburbs. Look at property price growth, rental prices and sales data. Analysing these stats will help you identify locations that provide good value for your money and show good potential for growth.

Your personal requirements

The right suburb for your first home should be about more than just being a popular location for others, it should be an area where you can feel at home. Find a suburb that fits your financial requirements as well as personal needs. If it is important to you, find an area with easy access to your work, or that is close to family and friends. If you like the outdoors, look for areas close to parks, or a bit further out of the city. Or if dining and shopping is your thing, find an area with a good café strip or popular shopping malls.
