22.01.2022 INTEREST RATE HOLD Summer has arrived and at its final meeting for 2016 today, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has elected to keep the official cash rate on hold yet again. Whilst some forecasters were predicting a cash rate cut today, as an early Christmas present, most were expecting the official cash rate to remain on hold as the RBA waits for new economic data and global financial developments before making its next move.... The next RBA will not meet again until February 2017. It may be a bit too early to predict their next move, and forecasters are divided. Some anticipate rates to stay on hold for most of 2017, whilst others predict that low inflation, soft wages growth and sluggish employment data will prompt another RBA cash rate cut as early as the next RBA meeting in February. Meanwhile, lenders have been adjusting their interest rates outside of the RBA's rate movements. Quite a few have recently increased rates on fixed rate products, particularly for 3 or 5 year terms. It also seems that the variation in home loan rates is widening between different lenders. This makes it more important than ever to consult us regularly about your home loan interest rate. We can help you with a proper comparison between loan products if you're looking for a new loan for any purpose. Please call 0418 744745 if you require further information.

13.01.2022 What to look for in an investment property Buying an investment property can be a clever way to build wealth for your future. There are government incentives that make this form of investment great for mum and dad investors - such as the potential to claim back losses as a tax deduction. So, how do you go about finding the right property for your needs, particularly if youre not an experienced property investor? In this article, youll find some insights about what to look f...or in an investment property. And remember, when you need the right finance for your investment, we are here to help so give us a call! Capital growth potential Capital growth is the increase in value of a property over a period of time. Investors use a range of strategies to build wealth, and looking for the properties that are most likely to experience significant capital growth, is often high on their radar. Be sure to choose an investment property that is close to amenities such as schools, shopping centres and public transport when an area is experiencing economic growth, these properties will be in the most demand. Rental returns Some investors choose to focus on properties with a high rental yield, rather than just looking at capital growth potential. The rental yield is the rate of income return compared to the costs associated with the investment property. Its typically expressed as a percentage, and may be calculated as a gross or net figure. Low maintenance costs As an investor, its wise to opt for a low-maintenance property. They not only cost less to keep, but theyre less hassle too. Units can be easier and cheaper to maintain than old houses for example, but keep in mind youll most likely have to pay body corporate fees. Choosing the right investment property requires careful research and planning. Luckily, one area you dont have to worry about is finding the right investment loan for your specific needs. We can take care of finding you a loan product that matches your financial circumstances, while working with your investment goals. Please call us today on 0418 744745!
12.01.2022 Reserve Bank of Australia cuts rates to record lows! Today the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) met for its August meeting and decided to cut the official cash rate by 25 basis points to just 1.50 per cent, creating the lowest cash-rate ever on record! The decision follows the release of June quarter inflation data last week that revealed inflation has slipped well below the RBA's target range. The RBA is also concerned the Aussie dollar remains stubbornly high compared to ot...her global currencies, which tends to have a dampening effect on economic growth. Forecasters remain divided over the possibility of further rate cuts this year. On the one hand, strong employment data suggests the economy is starting to respond to the stimulus the RBA has already applied and a further cut may not be necessary if the economy continues to improve following today's cut. On the other hand, the inflation figures may indicate a softening trend that could require further stimulus to lift the inflation rate into the RBA's target band of around 2 per cent. Global economic developments, such as the possibility of a rate rise in the US, will most likely prove to be the deciding factor. We expect that lenders will make reductions to home loan interest rates following today's decision. It's entirely possible that these adjustments will bring the lowest interest rates we can expect for the foreseeable future, so if you've been waiting to refinance your home loan or fix your interest rate, then talk to us now. Conditions are also looking much more attractive for property investors, first home buyers and next home buyers, so give us a call on 0418 744745 if you're in the market to make a property purchase and we'll help you get a really competitive rate on your loan.

The official cash rate is currently at all-time lows following a rate cut last month. Forecasters are predicting that low inflation figures may prompt the RBA to drop rates again this year, with speculation that another cut may be coming as early as August....

04.01.2022 JULY NEWSLETTER With Britains vote to exit the EU and all the uncertainty that surrounded our own Federal Election this month, theres a lot of volatility in our financial markets and our property markets have slowed. As predicted by most market forecasters, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to keep the official cash rate on hold at 1.75% once again at its July meeting. The RBA has indicated that its waiting for more information before deciding if further cuts to ...the cash rate will be necessary. However, an Aussie dollar thats strengthening against other currencies in light of global market volatility, combined with a lower than expected national inflation rate would seem to suggest that further rate cuts may be on the horizon. Whilst some analysts are speculating the cash rate could go as low as 1%, others believe a rate cut in August to 1.5% could see the end of the RBAs easing bias in 2016. It is usual for property markets to slow somewhat at this time of year, and the Federal Election also caused a reduction in the number of auctions held at the start of this month. For the week ending Sunday 03 July, there were only 850 auctions scheduled nationally, which is a significant drop since the same time last month when there were 1960 scheduled auctions. Auction clearance rates also registered a significant drop in most markets. Queensland held 68 scheduled auctions with a very low clearance rate of just 36%. Western Australia held 30 scheduled auctions with a clearance rate of 38%, ACT held only 27 scheduled auctions with a clearance rate of 54%. NT was also low in activity, with just 9 scheduled auctions and a clearance rate of 22%. The larger markets performed a little better however. Victoria had 270 auctions with a clearance rate of 67%, NSW had 365 scheduled auctions with a clearance rate of 78% and South Australia had 70 scheduled auctions with a clearance rate of 62%. During June, average home values didnt show much movement at all. Sydneys home values increased by just 1.15% and Hobarts home values increased by 1.81%. Melbourne showed a marginal rise in home values of just 0.77%, Brisbane/Gold Coast also had a marginal increase of 0.11%. All other markets showed marginal declines, with Darwin showing the most significant decrease in home values at -1.55%, Adelaide following with a decrease of -1.27%, Canberra next with a decrease of -1.11%, Perth showing a decrease of -0.79% and Brisbane showing a home value decrease of -0.11%. Following the RBAs decision to cut the cash rate in May, lenders have improved their interest rates for owner-occupier, property investment and commercial property buyers. Interest rates are very competitive and with the property market finally showing signs of slowing down for winter, lenders are offering some great deals to stimulate more business so please call us today on 0418 744745.

02.01.2022 AUGUST NEWSLETTER Whilst our property markets have cooled somewhat over winter, the recent rate cut from the RBA looks all set to motivate buyers and reignite property market activity in time for spring At its August meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to cut the official cash rate by 25 basis points to just 1.50 per cent. This follows a rate cut in May this year, bringing the official cash rate to its lowest point ever on record! The RBA has indicated that ...its now waiting for more information regarding global currency market activity before it will decide if further cuts to the cash rate will be necessary in 2016. This months move was prompted by low inflation figures for the June quarter, which indicated a weakening trend, well under the RBAs target range of 2 per cent. The Australian dollar also remains stubbornly high compared to other currencies, which tends to have a dampening effect on the economy. Property market activity has cooled during winter, which is traditionally the case for this time of year. For the week ending July 31, Victorias auction market was the strongest, with 754 scheduled auctions and a clearance rate of 75 per cent. NSW held 509 auctions with a clearance rate of 78 per cent. Queensland only scheduled 156 auctions and the clearance rate was quite low at just 49 per cent. South Australia had 107 auctions and a clearance rate of 69 per cent. Western Australia scheduled 34 auctions and achieved a clearance rate of only 37 per cent. Northern Territory had only 8 auctions and a clearance rate of just 25 per cent. ACT held 43 auctions, with a clearance rate of 74 per cent and whilst Tasmania held 7 auctions, none of the properties registered as sold. With the overall weakening of property sales during winter, home value increases have also slowed. The biggest increase for the month was in Adelaide, where home values rose 1.42 per cent. Home values in Sydney increased by 1.25 per cent, in Hobart by 1.12 per cent and in Melbourne, 1.11 per cent. All other markets showed very marginal decreases in home values, except for Darwin where there was a significant drop of 6.18 per cent. This months cash rate cut, combined with the decline in market activity for winter, has stimulated lenders to offer some extremely competitive interest rates and great special offers. Smaller lenders have passed on the full rate cut, so if youve been waiting for the right time to refinance your home loan or fix your interest rate, then this could be it! We can also access great rates for first home buyers, next home buyers and property investors, so give us a call on 0418 744745 now to check out what we can do for you and find out how much money you could save.
