On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to decrease the Cash rate by 0.25% to 1.00%
It was a surprise move according to many economists in the media, as there was a rate reduction in the previous month of June.
Before the decrease in June, there were no rate changes for 18 meetings; this was a record.
The last time this happened was in 1996 more than two decades ago when the RBA went for 17 meetings with no changes to the Cash rate.
What does an interest rate decrease mean for home loan owners?
If you are on a fixed rate, this does not affect your monthly repayment.
For homeowners or investors with variable home loan rates, your bank will decide on how much of the 0.25% reduction they will pass on.
Some banks have made announcements already, and some will have set dates to when they make a decision.
If you are unsure, contact your bank or broker.
With lower interest rates, your minimum monthly will decrease, there are a few strategies you have with lower home loan repayments.
While the last option sounds nice, it is probably not the most financially sensible thing to do
Ari & Nadene ThomasWe recently worked with Justin refinance our loan. This is the 2nd time working with him and both times have been a pleasure.
Justin has always gone above and beyond to assist us to ensure we get the best possible service. Not only does he show a professional attitude toward his role, but he also shows a genuine interest in our family to assist with our financial matters.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Justin to people important in my life.
Matthew KGreat 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 ❤
Mitch and AngieWe’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!
