The RBA cash rate is now 4.35%

The Reserve Bank of Australia’s cash rate target increased to 4.35% effective 6 May 2026, following a 0.25 percentage point increase.

For borrowers, this matters because interest rates affect both repayments and borrowing capacity.

When rates rise, lenders generally assess new borrowers more conservatively. That can reduce the amount some buyers are able to borrow, even if their income has not changed.

For existing mortgage holders, higher rates can also increase repayment pressure, especially for households that have not reviewed their loan for some time.

This does not mean every borrower needs to panic.

But it does mean this is a sensible time to check whether your loan structure, rate, offset, repayment strategy and lender still suit your situation.

Subject sales in the Perth market right now just aren’t really hitting the same way and instead buyers are turning to Bridging Finance.

Bridging finance used to be seen as something you only used when timing didn’t line up, but that has now changed.

In Perth’s current market, it’s becoming a proactive strategy that allows you to:

📌 act quickly when the right property appears
📌 make stronger, cleaner offers
📌 avoid being tied to a “subject to sale” condition that is unlikely to put you on the top of the offer pile.

However, bridging finance is also becoming a tool for other scenarios outside of the buy/sell to fund a range of objectives.

A strategy that is totally personalised but with a common goal - to get you debt free sooner. Imagine being totally unphased by the media circus, the RBA or the fuel prices. This is our intention for our clients. Secure the property, get the loan and then design an exit strategy so you can work towards a financial future without the noise.

Will Perth property prices come down in 2026?

It’s one of the most common questions we’re being asked right now. Hourly if not daily.

The honest answer is that no one can predict the property market perfectly, but looking at the fundamentals can give us some clues.

Right now, Perth is still dealing with very tight housing supply, strong population growth, and ongoing demand from both owner occupiers and investors. These factors have been a big driver behind the strong price growth we’ve seen over the past couple of years.

For prices to drop significantly, we would typically need to see things like a large increase in housing supply, rising unemployment, or much higher interest rates putting pressure on borrowers. At the moment, those conditions aren’t strongly present.

What we may see instead is a slowing of price growth rather than a sharp drop as the market finds a more balanced pace.

For buyers, the key takeaway is that trying to perfectly “time the market” is incredibly difficult. What often matters far more is having the right mortgage strategy, structuring your loan correctly, and making sure your purchase fits your long-term financial plan.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or planning your next property move, getting the right advice early can make a big difference.

Perth’s property market has been breaking records for more than two years straight and if we’ve recently been speaking to clients who had ben waiting for the bubble to burst before purchasing a property. Although, we can’t guarantee anything either way, the data currently suggests that falling prices in Perth are not on the horizon.

Despite stubborn inflation and cost-of-living pressure, Perth continues to outperform every other capital city in Australia. Prices keep rising, competition remains fierce, and homes are selling in record time. But it can’t continue this way forever…can it?

At Base Home Loans, we’re always watching the market closely on behalf of our clients, and the indicators are clear: there are strong reasons why Perth property prices are unlikely to fall anytime soon.

If you want to get to the crux of the matter now – Perth is entering 2026 as one of Australia’s strongest and most resilient housing markets – high demand, limited supply and strong migration trends, and there is little economic data to suggest that there will be any significant change anytime soon.

If you were waiting for things to head south before making any decision to buy, that could be a costly decision and one that requires careful analysis for your own unique situation and goals.

Perth homeowners — here’s something worth thinking about 👇

🏡 Perth house values have sky rocketed in just five years, with the median price now sitting close to $900,000.
📈 That means if you bought for $500k back in 2019, your home could now be worth a lot more giving you serious equity power and a lot more options.
💰 Many Perth locals are using that equity to upgrade their home, without taking on as much new debt as they expect.

And the best part?
When you buy and sell in the same market, you’re trading up smartly, selling high and buying high in one move, so you’re not chasing prices later.

With interest rates holding steady and Perth’s fundamentals still strong, now could be the perfect moment to explore your next chapter.

✨ Thinking about upgrading?
Let’s map out your options, from equity release to bridging loans and refinance strategies.
