Sydney, Australia, Thursday 27 November 2008:Aussie has teamed up with ninemsn Money to launch Your Home, a new website that offers information for first home buyers, investors and those looking to refinance and cut their debt levels.

The website – ninemsn.com.au/yourhome – has been designed to provide home buyers and owners with the tools to navigate their home finances and make informed decisions.

Founder and chairman of Aussie Home Loans, Mr John Symond, said: "We have launched the site to satisfy home buyers' and owners' hunger for information during these turbulent times in financial markets.

"We are determined to provide prospective buyers and owners with the tools to make informed decisions as they try to enter the property market or cut down their debt levels on existing mortgages," he added.

Michael Stephenson, ninemsn Director of Sales, said: "With finance being headline news recently, the ninemsn Money site has shown an increase in traffic of 91 per cent over the past two months from August to October*, providing the perfect platform for Your Home."

The new site brings together ninemsn's audience of over 8.2 million people a month with Australia's leading mortgage broker.

Visitors to the site will be able to access market updates, handy hints and exclusive advice from John Symond. Visitors will also be able to share their own experiences and advice.

Mr Symond said "We recognise that online is one of the first places Australians turn to when they want to keep up with the rapidly changing financial world and make decisions on their finances. It makes sense for Aussie to partner with one of Australia’s strongest online brands to deliver up to date and accurate information to the public."
