Hey there, property enthusiasts and savvy homeowners!
It's your favorite mortgage broker here, ready to break down the latest from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). Grab a cuppa, because we're diving into what the RBA's recent decision means for your wallet and your property dreams.
RBA Holds Steady: What's the Deal?
So, the big news is that the RBA has decided to keep the cash rate at 4.35%. Now, I know what you're thinking - "That's still pretty high!" And you're right. But here's the silver lining: we haven't seen an increase since April 2022. Small victories, folks!
The Inflation Battle Continues
RBA Governor Michele Bullock recently spilled the tea at the Rotary Club of Armidale. The lowdown? Inflation is still being a bit of a party pooper. The RBA doesn't expect it to simmer down to their happy place of 2-3% until the end of 2025. Yep, that's a while away.
What This Means for Your Mortgage
1. If you've got a mortgage: Breathe easy... for now. Rates are stable, but stay alert. It's a great time to check if you're still getting the best deal out there.
2. Looking to buy? This pause might be your moment to shine. But remember, future rate hikes could still be on the cards, so factor that into your plans.
3. Investors, listen up: The market's interesting right now. With rates steady, it might be time to crunch those numbers again.
