🏠 Is Your Mortgage Still the Right Fit? With the financial landscape shifting, "setting and forgetting" your home loan could be a costly mistake. Here is why reviewing your Home Loan as soon as possible is a must:

📉 The Reality of Rising Rates
The Big Banks and the RBA are signalling that further rate rises are on the horizon. If you are currently on a variable rate or your fixed term is nearing its end, your monthly repayments are likely headed up.

🍞 The Inflation Squeeze
It’s not just interest rates—inflation is driving up the Minimum Benchmark Expenses. Lenders are now assuming it costs more for you to live, which directly impacts their math when they look at your finances.

🛑 Shrinking Borrowing Capacity
As rates and living costs climb, borrowing capacity is reducing, particularly for owner-occupiers. What you could qualify for now might not be possible six months from now. Acting sooner rather than later helps you be assessed when your capacity is at its peak.

Summary: With trends changing and Australia heading into a period with potentially increasing rates again, it is better to be proactive and arrange a home loan review before you feel the squeeze

My Mortgage Butler offers free, complimentary home loan reviews, which can include finding you a more competitive lender and providing advice on restructuring your debts to ensure you make everything as affordable as possible

Great news for first home buyers! The Queensland Government has just announced they are finally increasing the threshold for the first home stamp duty concession from $500,000 to $700,000, with the concession then phasing out up to values of $800,000.

Additionally, they are also increasing the threshold for the first home vacant land stamp duty concession from $250,000 to $350,000, with the concession then phasing out up to values of $500,000.

These changes apply to contracts signed on or after 9th June 2024. If your contract was signed before this date, the previous thresholds will apply.

This could save first home buyers up to $17,350 in upfront stamp duty when purchasing their first home they plan to live in.
