If you’ve been trying to dip your toe into the Australian property market, you’ve probably realised the whole process can feel a little...overwhelming.
To help decode the process and close up those knowledge gaps, we’ve teamed up with Stockland to host a first-home buyers pop-up at 10am on Sunday 23 February at Marnong Estate—complete with an expert property panel, DJs, complimentary pastries and a stack of freebies from local vendors.
What To Expect
Open Doors—a panel of property, finance and lifestyle experts—will flip the script with practical, real-world advice and timely market insights in one neat package. These aren’t just property experts, they’re people who have navigated the home-buying process themselves.
Kicking off at 10:30am, the discussion will include a conversation with Queenie Tan (of Invest with Queenie), Senior Stockland Development Manager Sara Nguyen and REA senior economist Eleanor Creagh, diving into the hot topics shaping first-home buying right now. From maximising your buying power before rates shift again to understanding the lifestyle benefits of community living, this is the insider guide every first home buyer needs. There'll also be a kid's corner to keep the little ones entertained while you sit down for the panel.
Be sure to come hungry—with free pastries, coffee, ice cream, and a post-panel lunch on offer, plus take-home goodie bags filled with freebies from your new fave locals. We're talking local Pilates vouchers and keep cups.
With consultants on hand from Stockland to help answer any burning questions, as well as a crew of interior designers ready to share styling advice, you’ll have all bases covered.
And, keeping the vibes high, a DJ will be spinning tunes at the panel stage before and after the session.
