As many of you know, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside you over the years to help guide your financial journey. After much consideration, I’ve made the decision to merge my company with Dana and Will from APEX FINCAP. As I step back from the day to day operations you will be firmly in the capable hands of the team at APEX FINCAP. I've recorded an introductory video and posted it to our page, and if you have spare minute I would encourage you to watch it (the link is also in this email).

I want to reassure you that I’ll remain involved in a support role with APEX FINCAP, providing strategic guidance and assisting with the higher-level structuring of complex lending solutions.

As always, I am available on the same mobile number for anyone who wants or needs a chat. My door is always open. As the landscape of the mortgage and finance industry are evolving, I have made this decision ultimately to ensure that all my clients are receiving the best service, backed by the best technology and driven by the best team.

I’m also excited to let you know that Teena and Tracey, whom you know and trust, will be staying on with the business. They are just as passionate and enthusiastic as I am about this new phase, and they will continue to provide the exceptional service you’ve come to expect from us.

Allow me to introduce Dana and Will from APEX FINCAP, who will be taking the reins alongside the team.

Dana brings over 20 years of experience in finance, while Will combines his strong business history with a background in military service. Together, they make an unstoppable team, and their combined knowledge and experience will ensure that you continue to receive outstanding outcomes for your financial needs.

They'll also be expanding the services we offer to you.

Additionally, we’ll be launching a boutique buyers agency and concierge service in the near future, providing a fully serviced, end-to-end experience to assist you in all aspects of your property and investing journey.

Dana and Will’s unwavering commitment to their clients and meticulous attention to detail closely mirror my own values. It’s for this reason that I have confidently entrusted the business I’ve built over the years into their capable hands. This decision was made after careful consideration and strategic planning. You can trust that I fully support the expertise and vision of APEX FINCAP, under the leadership of Dana and Will, and have the utmost confidence in their ability to continue delivering exceptional results.

As always Teena and Tracey are hard at work in the office and can be contacted any time on 07 5452 7979.

A sincere thank you to all of my clients who have been with me on this journey. Your trust and support over the years have meant the world to me.

When it comes to choosing a mortgage, it’s not just the interest rate you need to take into account. Home loans usually come with additional costs, such as establishment fees, account fees, discharge or exit fees, redraw fees and more. These can add substantially to the amount you pay each month and therefore the overall cost of your loan.

Talking to an expert to get a true comparison can make a big difference to your wealth creation goals.

Keep in mind if you need to take out lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), you should also factor this into the real cost of comparing home loans as the rate you’ll pay will probably vary from lender to lender.

Early this week, the federal government announced an $800 million expansion of the Help to Buy housing program, with applications opening later this year.

The program is based on shared equity, with the government contributing 30% of an eligible applicants home loan for an established property and 40% for a new build. Both property price caps and applicant income caps have also been adjusted to open the potential to more buyers.

If you would like to discuss the scheme, please call us.

As predicted, the Reserve Bank has cut interest rates to 4.1 per cent. It comes after the RBA kept interest rates on hold at 4.35% since November 2023 — the highest level in 13 years.

Home loan customers will be relieved that all four big banks have already announced they will lower their standard variable rates by 0.25 percentage points, in line with the official cash rate.

Call us if you need any assistance with achieving your most competitive rate.

It’s widely tipped that the RBA will cut rates when it meets in February from the current level of 4.35 per cent, where it has sat for more than a year.

If predications are correct and there is a 25 basis point cut, the rate will be 4.1 per cent and we anticipate lenders will feel the pressure to pass on some relief to mortgage holders.

If you want to reduce your repayments in line with a reduction in interest rates, you should call your bank to make sure your payments are decreased to the new minimum. Call us if you would like any advice on the best outcome for your loan.

A positive start to 2025, with inflation trending in the right direction for the RBA to consider cutting the official cash rate from 4.35 per cent in the first meeting for the year next month.

For homeowners with a $600,000 loan and 25 years remaining, a February 0.25 % rate cut would save around $92 per month.

If you need assistance with your home loan or refinance, please dont hesitate to call.

With the RBA leaving the cash rate on hold this week in its last meeting for 2024, we encourage homeowners to turn their attention to what CAN be done now to achieve their home loan goals in 2025.

While home price growth is currently slowing, it is expected to gain momentum once interest rates begin to fall, though the timing of rate cuts remains uncertain, we anticipate a change in the first half of 2025.

Now is a good time to talk to your broker about refinancing possibilities for your current loan and pre-approvals if you are considering buying next year so you are prepared when the RBA meets again in Feb.

There is no relief yet for borrowers as the Reserve Bank leaves interest rates on hold at 4.35% for eighth meeting in a row.

The RBA believes inflation will be at 2.5 per cent, the mid-point of its inflation target by mid 2025.

Current data is showing that more ‘affordable’ houses are becoming increasingly attractive to home buyers and outpacing the luxury housing market in terms of price growth.

This trend is more pronounced if the property is an established home rather than a new build. That’s not to say that growth isn’t strong across the board, but it’s certainly something to consider when searching for a property as an investor or potential homeowner.

However, the luxury apartment market is still relatively unaffected by rising construction costs and prices are largely driven by downsizers who are less sensitive to interest rates so growth remains strong.

The RBA may not have moved to cut rates yet but that hasn’t stopped some lenders making their own move.

This week has seen one of the major four banks bringing their three-year fixed rates under 6% as fixed rates started dropping across the industry. As competition increases, this is an ideal time to seek advice for reassessing your mortgage options. Even a small reduction in interest rates can lead to substantial savings over the life of the loan and all important cash flow right now. We are always here for a chat.
