RBA hikes rates for first time in two years: How much will your mortgage cost

If you're on a variable-rate mortgage, interest rate changes can affect your repayments. Higher rates usually mean higher repayments, which can leave less room in the household budget. Interest rates also affect borrowing capacity

Monthly repayments (assumed rate of 5.76%) Monthly repayments with a 0.25% rate hike Monthly extra repayment (to nearest $10)
$1,000,000 $5840 $6000 $160
$750,000 $4380 $4500 $120
$500,000 $2920. $3000 $80
$250,000 $1460 $1500 $40

🌟 Growing Brokers, Growing Futures 🌟

At Aqua Mortgage Solutions, we believe the future of our industry depends on the passion, knowledge and confidence of new brokers entering the field.

That’s why Diana is personally committed to being hands-on with our brokers in mentoring and training them for the initial 12-months after their Certificate VI has been obtained. And beyond.

For her, it’s not just about passing on technical skills, it’s about building resilience, ethical foundations, and a genuine drive to help clients achieve their dreams.

When brokers grow, clients enjoy the winning benefits. 💙

At Aqua Mortgage Solutions (AMS) we’re watching five trends that matter right now:

1️⃣ Valuations under pressure
Stricter standards for automated valuation models (AVMs) are tightening how property is assessed. Brokers need reliable alternatives and clear valuation strategies.

2️⃣ Borrower confidence dips
Australian consumer sentiment slipped again in October as the RBA’s rate path remains uncertain. Some buyers are holding back while others are ready to move. Brokers who provide scenario planning will add real value.

3️⃣ Macroprudential settings steady
APRA has kept lending rules unchanged, but that means strong, clean loan files and stress-tested scenarios remain essential to secure approvals.

4️⃣ Commercial & private lending opportunities
ABS data shows steady growth in new loan commitments, with private and commercial lenders actively filling funding gaps. Brokers who can package deals well will unlock more options for clients.

5️⃣ Speed over rate
More Australian borrowers are prioritising fast, certain approvals over chasing the lowest headline rate. Brokers with efficient lender networks have the edge.

At AMS, we see October as a turning point where informed brokers can transform uncertainty into opportunity.

💙 First Home?

Here’s the Secret No One’s Telling You…

If you think you need a massive deposit to buy your first home, we’ve got news for you: you don’t.

Thanks to the First Home Buyer’s Guarantee (FHBG), thousands of Aussies are stepping into their dream homes with just 5% deposit and without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

That’s potentially tens of thousands of dollars saved and years shaved off your wait time.

But here’s the real game-changer:

👉 Most people don’t even realise they’re eligible or they miss out because they don’t have the right strategy.

That’s where a great mortgage broker changes everything. At Aqua Mortgage Solutions, we don’t just “find" you a loan, we:

✨ Hunt down opportunities you didn’t know existed
✨ Structure your finance to give you the best shot at approval
✨ And guide you step-by-step until you’re holding the keys to your home

Buying your first home shouldn’t feel impossible, it should feel inevitable. 💫

2025 could be the year you exchange renting for owning. DM us or reach out to our me, Diana Hodzic, at [email protected], and let’s get that first set of keys into your hands.
