Here’s a quick wrap-up of what’s happening in finance and property this month:
Nov 2025
🏦 Interest Rates:
Despite expectations, the RBA held rates steady as inflation remains sticky and spending still strong. Markets now expect rate cuts mid-to-late 2025.
💰 Lending Trends:
• AMP has introduced 10-year interest-only loans, giving investors more flexibility and cash flow options.
• More lenders are now offering 40-year home loan terms, helping buyers manage repayments as property prices rise.
🏗️ Construction Industry:
Builders are slowly recovering, but rising material and labour costs continue to weigh on new housing supply.
🏡 Property Market Snapshot:
• Melbourne: High stock levels are giving buyers more negotiating power.
• Brisbane: Investor demand is climbing, driven by affordability and population growth.
• Western Sydney: Under supply, infrastructure investment and relative affordability are making suburbs west of Sydney a hot spot—first-home buyers are moving quickly.
