How to check in on your home ownership progress

2 MIN READ July 3, 2025
You’ve been working hard on your home ownership journey, and now’s a great time to check in on your progress. Taking a moment to review how things are going can help you stay on track and make adjustments where needed.

 

How’s your budget and deposit savings? 

Your budget is the foundation of your savings plan, but life happens – sneaky expenses or rising prices can sometimes creep in and throw things off course. Have you noticed any changes to your spending? If so, it might be time to reassess your budget and make small adjustments to keep your savings on track.

 

Questions to consider:

  • Are you consistently meeting your savings targets?
  • Are there new expenses you could cut or reduce?
  • Have you noticed any price increases that are impacting your progress?

 

A quick refresh of your budget can make a big difference!

 

Are you ready for pre-approval? 

If your deposit savings are progressing well, it might be time to start thinking about pre-approval. This crucial step gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and makes you a stronger buyer when it’s time to make an offer.

 

Not ready yet? No worries, this is a great opportunity to check in with your Haven mortgage adviser. They can help you identify anything you may need to adjust or prepare to take the next step.
