National property prices rose 0.6% in June, marking the fifth consecutive month of growth. Over the past five years, the national median has increased by 44.3%.

In a market where interest rates are coming down and prices are creeping up again, here are three things to keep in mind:
1. Buyers are getting off the fence. Lower rates are bringing more competition back to the market. Be ready to move quickly.
2. Your borrowing power may increase. As rates fall, you might qualify for a larger loan but property prices are rising too.
3. Timing your move matters. With prices rising, waiting could mean paying more later.

ATO has released guidelines to help your business understand whether it's eligible for the $20,000 instant asset write-off for the 2024-25 financial year.

“If your business has an annual turnover of less than $10m and uses the simplified depreciation rules, you may be eligible to claim the instant asset write-off to immediately deduct the business part of the cost of eligible assets,” according to the ATO.

With two weeks remaining in the financial year, please contact me immediately if you’d like to purchase an asset in FY25. Also, please speak to a tax professional to check your eligibility for the instant asset write-off.

More than 65 lenders, including the big four banks, have cut their interest rates following the RBA's decision to reduce the cash rate.
This means lower repayments, however the size of the rate cuts, and the dates at which they’re taking effect varies from lender to lender.

3 three tips to bear in mind in this downward interest rate environment:

1️⃣Think about refinancing - If your lender is not making the right competitive moves with your interest rate, I can compare the market for you and search for better options.

2️⃣Review your new borrowing power - Lower interest rates can increase how much you can borrow, which may open up new opportunities to upsize, renovate or invest.

3️⃣Use your savings wisely. Consider what you do with the money you save with a lower rate. Splurging on treats may be satisfying, but investing the money or making extra repayments on your loan may be the smarter long-term options.

Higher interest rates make it harder for borrowers to qualify for larger loans or even loans of any size. That's because for every increase of 0.50 percentage points in interest rates, the average person's borrowing capacity falls by about 5%, according to PropTrack senior economist Paul Ryan.

Since 2022, RBA has increased official interest rates by 4.25 percentage points, thereby reducing the average person's borrowing capacity by about 40%.

Currently, to protect borrowers and the banking system, lenders need to add a buffer of at least 3 percent when assessing the ability to repay a home loan – so if you applied for a loan with an interest rate of 6.20%, lenders would assess whether you’d be able to make your mortgage repayments if the rate rose to at least 9.20%.

If APRA reduced this buffer requirement to say 2.5 percent or 2 percent, the assessment rate on the hypothetical loan mentioned above would fall, thereby increasing your borrowing power.

However, APRA recently ruled that it would keep the buffer at 3 percentage points. “In reaching the decision to keep the settings steady, APRA took account of high household indebtedness and a pick-up in credit growth, persistent cost-of-living pressures, a weakening jobs market and heightened geopolitical risks,” the regulator said.

More and more Australians are turning to property investment, new analysis has revealed.

CoreLogic’s head of research, Eliza Owen, found that the number of investors entering the market was exceeding the number exiting, by comparing home loans data with listings data.

Why is property investing so popular? Probably because it offers three big potential benefits:

✳️Capital growth – if your property rises in value

✳️Ongoing rental income – which can be used to pay down your mortgage

✳️Tax benefits – you can reduce your taxable income if your property is negatively geared

Reach out if you’re thinking about buying an investment property. I’ll model different repayment scenarios for you, so you can make an informed decision about whether investing is right for you.

With property prices at record levels, the size of the average mortgage has also hit new highs, making it more important than ever that you shop around for the right loan.

Australia’s median property price reached a record $794,000 in June, up 8.0% year on year. Meanwhile, the size of the average owner-occupied loan reached a record $626,055 at the end of May, up 7.1% year on year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Just as interest rates can vary significantly from lender to lender, so can your borrowing power, depending on your financial profile, the type of property you’re planning to buy and the location of the property. Sometimes, one lender might be willing to lend you tens of thousands – or even hundreds of thousands – of dollars more than another lender.

Trying to source all this information yourself would be very time-consuming. But brokers have an intimate understanding of the credit policies of many different lenders. That’s why, if you get a home loan through a broker, they can recommend a lender that is suitable for someone with your profile and scenario.
