Helping Footscray buyers find the right loan

Footscray is undergoing rapid transformation. Once overlooked by buyers who favoured the inner north or south, it now attracts professionals, investors and first home buyers who recognise its proximity to the CBD, strong Vietnamese-Australian community, growing dining and arts scene, and comparatively competitive prices.

The suburb sits just 5 kilometres from the CBD and is well connected by tram and train. Buyers here tend to be ahead of the curve — purchasing in a suburb that is clearly gentrifying but still offers entry prices well below equivalent distance suburbs on the north or south side.
