Reserve Bank of Australia – August 2019 Update

Aug 7, 2019 by Map Home Loans

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

Great communication from Justin who helped through a fairly tumultuous time in our lives. We genuinely appreciated the hand-holding and methodical approach they used to help us secure out first home.
Yours sincerely Matt, Kit and our new baby Sapphire ❤

We’ve had a very positive experience with Justin after being referred to him by our Financial Advisor. Justin’s communication was fantastic and he was always careful to explain each step of the way to us throughout our refinancing experience. We would certainly work with Justin again in the future given the chance!

MAP home loans were referred to me by my Financial Advisor. I was looking to purchase my forever home as I transition to retirement. It was a long shot that I would be able to purchase another home but with the help of Justin at MAP Home Loans this become a reality. I would recommend contacting Justin for your home loan needs.
