The Reserve Bank of Australia has taken the bit between its teeth as it moves to rein in galloping inflation.

The Monetary Policy Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has been spurred into action for its Melbourne Cup day decision, today (3 November) lifting the official cash rate by 25 basis points from 4.60 per cent to 4.85 per cent.

The decision pushes borrowing costs to an 18-year high, marking the highest cash rate level seen since November 2008 (when it was 5.25 per cent), in the shadow of the global financial crisis.

It also marks the RBA’s fifth rate hike of 2026, as the central bank grapples with stubborn inflation.

The rate hike was widely expected by the market, and comes after September-quarter inflation came in significantly hotter than expected.

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data released last week revealed trimmed mean inflation (the RBA’s preferred core gauge) accelerated to 3.7 per cent annually, blowing past both the previous quarter’s 3.6 per cent reading and the central bank’s own 3.4 per cent forecast.

🏡 **OVER 60? YOUR HOME COULD HOLD THE KEY TO MORE FINANCIAL FREEDOM!**

You've worked hard to build equity in your home, but what if you could put some of that wealth to work **without selling or moving?**

A **Reverse Mortgage** (EQUITY HOME LOAN) may allow eligible homeowners aged 60+ to access some of their home's equity to enjoy greater financial flexibility in retirement.

💡 **10 ways a Reverse Mortgage could help:**

✅ Stay in your own home without downsizing.

✅ Access equity without regular monthly loan repayments.

✅ Pay off an existing mortgage or other debts.

✅ Supplement your pension or retirement income.

✅ Fund renovations or home improvements.

✅ Cover medical expenses or in-home care.

✅ Help children or grandchildren financially.

✅ Access funds as a lump sum or regular payments.

✅ Keep funds available for unexpected expenses.

✅ Retain ownership of your home.

**And importantly, Australian reverse mortgages include a No Negative Equity Guarantee**, providing protection if your loan balance exceeds your property's value.

⚠️ Interest is added to the loan and compounds over time, reducing your remaining home equity. A reverse mortgage isn't suitable for everyone, so understanding the benefits, costs and long-term implications is essential.

💬 **CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS?**

At Hassan Finance, I can help you explore whether a reverse mortgage could be the right fit for your retirement plans.

Just like everyone else scratching their heads and checking for coins under the lounge seats you will be surprised that Inflation has increased and a rate rise is now forecast as 'likely'

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) said on Wednesday (28 October) that trimmed mean inflation, the RBA's preferred underlying measure, rose to 3.7 per cent annually in September, from 3.6 per cent in June.

The result beat expectations for underlying inflation to hold steady and far exceeded the RBA's 3.4 per cent forecast.

Meanwhile headline inflation climbed to 4.3 per cent from 4 per cent in August, largely due to a 9.4 per cent petrol price jump.

🏡 **HIGHER INTEREST RATES ARE TOUGH, but
DON'T MAKE A COSTLY DECISION WITHOUT EXPLORING YOUR OPTIONS!**

Feeling the pressure of rising mortgage repayments? Before making any big financial decisions, let's talk strategy!

💰 **Refinance?** Extend your loan term to reduce monthly repayments and ease cash flow.

💳 **Restructure your debts?** Consolidate and close personal loans, car loans and credit cards to potentially reduce your monthly commitments.

🏦 **Create a buffer?** Access some equity to help manage higher repayments over the next 12 months.

🏠 **Sell and downsize?** Before you do, consider the cost! Agent commissions, stamp duty and moving expenses could easily eat into $100,000 of your hard-earned equity.

📉 **And what about the market?** Selling in a softer market could mean accepting less for your property. Would holding on until conditions improve put you in a better position?

*******************My message is simple: Don't make a permanent financial decision to solve what may be a temporary problem.***************************

There are options, but the right strategy comes down to YOUR numbers.

Now is not the time for rash financial decisions. **It's time to talk numbers, explore options and make informed decisions.**
