RBA just lifted the cash rate at 4.10%, and a possible third rise this year expected for Mays meeting.
But before you stress, here’s the calm version:
- Your repayments will nudge up, a quick rate check could offset it entirely.
- First home buyers: now’s the time to get pre-approval sorted, not later.
- Already have a loan? Shopping around could save you thousands a year.
- Big 4 banks are tipping another rise in May, the earlier you act, the better.
