15.01.2022 The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced its first cash rate decision of the new year. As expected, the central bank has held the rate at its current record low of 0.1%, where it has sat for the past three months since the November 2020 meeting. In a statement, RBA governor Philip Lowe said that while recent vaccine developments have improved the outlook for the global economy, the path to Australia’s economic recovery depends, not only on the health situation as it ...unfolds, but also on significant fiscal and monetary support. Unemployment has seen a welcome decline to 6.6%, it remains higher than it has been for the past two decades. The central scenario is for unemployment to be around 6 per cent at the end of this year and 5 per cent at the end of 2022.

13.01.2022 GENUINE SAVINGS What is Genuine Savings when applying for a Home Loan? Genuine savings is a policy that most lenders have in place as security to know you will be able to manage the repayments and to avoid any further questions from authorities about money laundering.... With most major lenders the Genuine Savings portion must consist of 5% of the property value and evidently saved over a period of 3 months. Some lenders will have flexibility to this condition eg. Rent expense as genuine savings demonstrated over a certain period of time, general rule of thumb is 6-12 months or borrowing less than a certain % of the property value. Having access to over 45 lenders on our panel we can find the right solution for you and your scenario.

10.01.2022 Have you been considering refinancing your home loan but not quite sure on whether it is right for you, where to start or where to refinance to? You are not alone, on average Australians are refinancing their home loan every 3 4 years as it is natural that as time passes, your needs change and the loan that would have been perfect for you a few years ago may not be the best for you today. Here are some of the common reasons why homeowners look to refinance: They have cha...nge in financial circumstance from when they initially took out their home loan. To secure a lower interest rate; especially in today’s current interest rate environment with interest rates being lower than ever before For whatever the reason dissatisfaction with the current lender Intent to convert from a variable to a fixed rate or vice versa To access home equity to finance other investment property purchases and/or to consolidate their debt position, credit cards personal loans etc. Considering a move to a new house or expanding your investment property portfolio. All great reasons to review your options and investigate whether it is in your best interest and another lender will better suit your needs. Everyone is different, and therefore peoples reasoning for refinancing differ greatly so some great questions to consider on whether a refinance may be of benefit to you are: Does my current loan match my lifestyle? Am I planning to start a family? How will this affect me financially? Would specific loan features benefit my needs? Am I considering renovating my home? Is my fixed rate loan on the verge of expiration? Would lowering my interest rate help me make additional repayments and pay my home loan off sooner Could I use the equity in your home for an investment opportunity? What are the factored costs in refinancing from one loan to another? Where do I see myself in the next 5, 10 or 15 years? If you answered yes to any of the questions or still unsure then send though a message to speak to our team and we will go through our refinance suitability assessment with you so that you can be rest assured on your decision to refinance is right for you. ~ SFS THE THINKING BEHIND THE MONEY ~ Damian Bastiras [email protected] 0431 382 750 109A Archer Street , North Adelaide , SA 5006
