📈 RBA Update: Rates on the Move Again

The Reserve Bank has lifted the cash rate by 0.25% to 4.10% at its March meeting.

So… what’s behind it?

Inflation is still hanging around longer than anyone would like. The RBA’s preferred measure has ticked up slightly, and with strong spending and a tight job market, prices are proving a bit stubborn to bring down.

In simple terms 👉 there’s still more demand than supply… and that keeps pressure on prices.

Because of that, the RBA is continuing to nudge rates higher to bring inflation back into that 2–3% target range.

💭 What does this mean for you?

If you’ve got a mortgage, it’s a good time to check in:
• Are you on the right rate?
• Could your loan be structured better?
• Are there options to reduce your repayments or interest?

Sometimes a small tweak can make a big difference 💡

🏡✨ Thinking About Building Instead of Buying? You’re Not Alone! ✨🏡

With Melbourne house prices floating upward like a rogue helium balloon 🎈, more Aussies are ditching the established-home hunt and saying, “Stuff it — let’s build!”

And honestly? We get it.
New HIA data shows new home sales jumped 25.9% in September (yep, you read that right!). With lower interest rates, government incentives, and rising property prices, building is looking more affordable than buying in many suburbs.

But before you dive head-first into display homes and spend three hours debating tapware colours… there's a few things to know. 👀

We’ve broken down:
🔨 Why new builds are booming
💰 The 5 must-know finance tips (so you don’t lose your marbles)
📉 How construction loans really work
🏡 And why planning ahead can save your sanity — and your savings!

Whether you're dreaming of your first home, planning a knock-down rebuild, or wondering if building is actually worth it… this one’s for you.

🏡 “Hold up… Adelaide’s more expensive than Melbourne now?!” 😲

Turns out, Melbourne just got bumped down the affordability ladder — and by Adelaide, of all places!

According to the latest housing report, Adelaide homes now cost 10.9× the average income, while Melbourne sits at 9.7×.

So technically, Melbourne’s now the more affordable option. (We’ll take that small victory — thanks, Adelaide! 😅)

But let’s be real — owning a home here is still a stretch. The good news? With the right strategy (and the right broker 😉), it’s totally possible.

💡 Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or just curious what you can afford, now’s a great time to check your options.

📲 Send us a message — we’ll help you figure out your next move.
