25.01.2022 *** NSW readies to do away with stamp duty *** In the New South Wales state budget 2020-2021 handed down yesterday, Treasurer Dominic Perrottet revealed plans to reform the inefficient property tax system currently in place, and to do so based on the feedback of the state’s residents. Perrottet proposed transitioning from the current model of a mandatory upfront stamp duty, to one where residents have the choice to instead pay a smaller annual land tax on new property trans...actions based on the value of their land, with rates varying for owner-occupiers, investors and commercial tenants. "If implemented, the proposed changes could give you the freedom to choose between paying stamp duty upfront or paying a much smaller annual property tax, when you buy your next home," reads the NSW Treasury website.

17.01.2022 Have you seen the headlines recently? So many conflicting opinions about whether the Reserve Bank of Australia will drop the cash rate EVEN further than 0.25% Today we received the verdict the cash rate REMAINS at 0.25%! The Reserve Bank is carefully monitoring the state of the economy. Most economic forecasters expect that the Reserve Bank will do what is financially necessary to support the economy and employment opportunities in coming months. So the prospect of an i...nterest rate cut is considered high before the end of the year An area of caution is fixed rates, some lenders have increased some fixed rates in recent weeks. So if your preference is certainly around knowing what your loan repayments are, it might be wise to talk to a MoneyQuest finance specialist to see what has changed Regarding the housing markets, experts have noted that properties in Sydney and especially Melbourne have declined. This is extremely encouraging for all Australians who are hoping to purchase their first property before Christmas, YES, it is much more possible than you imagined If you want to find out more about this finance mumbo jumbo and how you could possibly leverage it to your advantage - send us a message because we genuinely love to help!
