20.01.2022 good afternoon all. The Reserve Bank of Australia has again decided to leave the official cash rate at 2.00%. This approach was again predicted by many commentators as the Reserve Bank ignored recent scare mongering around the Australian housing market as it continues to assess the impact of movements in the Australian dollar and a volatile share market. The task of the RBA was more difficult this month due to the timing of their meeting and a lack of key economic data being ...available, both of which supported a wait and see approach. Even though the cash rate has remained unchanged, lenders are making daily changes to lending rates so it's still wise for us to talk if we haven't spoken in a while to ensure you're still in the right finance solution. Martyn, get in touch today to make sure you are taking advantage of regular changes in the increasingly competitive mortgage market. See more

14.01.2022 Good Afternoon, The Reserve Bank of Australia has again decided to leave the official cash rate at 2.00%. This decision was forecast by most commentators as the... Reserve Bank continues to assess the impact of recent upward movements in the Australian dollar and positive economic news around employment and retail spending. Complicating the issue is talk that lenders may increase interest rates independent of the Reserve Bank cycle, citing increased funding and regulatory costs. Therefore even though the cash rate has remained unchanged, it's still wise for us to talk to ensure you still have the appropriate financial solution for your current circumstances. See more

10.01.2022 Welcome to our first edition of Haven for 2016. The great Australian dream of owning your own home is one that many still hold dear. While escalating property prices may make many first home owners feel that this dream is out of reach, continued low interest rates are a tantalising carrot that could be too hard to resist. Our lead story runs through the key ways of getting into the market if you're looking to buy your very first home. Dorothea Mackellar wrote of her love of a... sunburnt country, despite its flood and fire. Indeed the flipside of the very things we love about this wide brown land are the natural disasters we are exposed to. Recent devastating bushfires and floods are a timely reminder to carefully consider if you have adequate home insurance cover. Our story on this delves into what you need to know to ensure you are covered if the unthinkable happens. Oops, we need to correct a figure. In our last edition of Haven we noted the current compulsory superannuation rate as being 9 per cent, when it is in fact 9.5 per cent. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if there is anything we can do to help you with your home finance. We're just a phone call or email away. See more
