🚨 ANOTHER RATE RISE COMING? 📈
There’s growing talk the RBA could increase interest rates by another 0.25% at the end of September.
Why? Inflation is still proving stubborn, housing costs remain high, and the RBA is worried demand in the economy hasn’t slowed enough.
For borrowers, another rate rise could mean:
🏠 Higher mortgage repayments
📉 Lower borrowing capacity
💰 Tougher servicing assessments
😬 Even more pressure on household budgets
If the cash rate rises another 0.25%, lenders’ assessment rates will likely move higher again — making it harder for buyers to borrow the same amount.
The next RBA decision is one to watch. 👀
