Interest Rate Update
Since the election this year there have been two interest rate changes, a new prime minister and the banks have lowered their assessment rates.
August is the first month where things appear to have stabilised. This is true for todays RBA announcement with the RBA deciding to keep the cash rate on hold at the historical low of 1%.
Many economists will tell you that a lower cash rate is a reflection of the lack of business confidence in our economy. So whilst those of us with Home Loans would like to see our minimum monthly reduce as much as possible, it can be a double edge sword.
So to close on that, no changes this month (August) to the cash rate.
A reminder that there are some amazing fixed rates on the market below 3% with some lenders already pricing in 1-2 more rate cuts. And anyone with a variable rate mortgage with P&I repayments should have an interest rate with a 3 in front of it. If you don’t, please reach out.
unds nice, it is probably not the most financially sensible thing to do
TeganWe are so grateful for everything Justin Thom did to help us with our home loan. From the very beginning, Justin was friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about making the process as easy as possible for us.
He explained everything in simple terms, answered all our questions with patience, and always made us feel comfortable and supported. It can feel overwhelming, but Justin went above and beyond to guide us every step of the way.
Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we were able to secure the right loan for our family and move forward with confidence. We honestly couldn’t have done it without him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Justin to our friends and family.
Tristan BothaHelpful, responsive and great communication! Justin ensured we were in-the-loop and knew exactly where things were up to throughout the whole process!
Highly recommend MAP Home Loans and will be sure to use them again, when required!
LydiaJustin was recommended to us by family when we began our journey into purchasing our first home and applying for a mortgage in 2022. As first-time buyers, I felt a little overwhelmed, but Justin was always readily available to answer questions. I especially appreciated a call — outside normal working hours — to let us know the RBA was about to hike rates, giving us the chance to lock in our offer beforehand. Justin listened to our goals and found options that suited us. A couple of years later, we returned to him for refinancing to consolidate debt, and again we were grateful for his guidance. The process was seamless, and we secured an amazing rate.
