Wages just went up. That’s good news for workers. But it might not be great news for your mortgage.

The Fair Work Commission lifted Australia’s minimum wage by 5.97% this week. And while all four Big Four banks are still calling a hold at the June RBA meeting, inflation remains above target and the cash rate is already sitting at 4.35%.

The environment is uncertain. Your loan structure shouldn’t be.

Building approvals dropped 13.6% in two months.

Fewer homes being built means less supply, more competition and prices that stay elevated even as affordability is already stretched.

We are running 40,000 approvals short of where we need to be every single year.

Renovating usually adds value… but the wrong design choices can slash a home’s price by 10’s of thousands.

Here are some of the most common mistakes buyers are noticing at inspections 👇

⚠️ Cheap laminate flooring
• Can make a renovation feel “cheap”
• Hollow sound, scratches or swelling worry buyers
• Potential impact: $18k–$36k on a $1M home

Better option 👉 engineered timber or hybrid flooring.

🍽️ Marble benchtops
• Looks luxurious but stains easily
• High maintenance for families
• Potential impact: $10k–$30k

Better option 👉 porcelain, quartz or engineered stone.

🏡 Fully open-plan layouts
• Lack of privacy and noise control
• Buyers now want flexible spaces for work/study
• Potential impact: $10k–$30k

New trend 👉 “broken-plan” layouts with zones.

⬛ Too many dark finishes
• Black tiles, tapware and appliances show dust, watermarks and fingerprints
• Can make homes feel darker and smaller
• Potential impact: $5k–$24k

Tip 👉 use dark finishes as accents, not everywhere.

🎨 Overly trendy tiles & finishes
• Penny tiles, heavy grout, bold patterns
• Harder to clean and easy to date
• Potential impact: $5k–$20k

Tip 👉 keep permanent features neutral.

🧠 Key takeaway

Buyers aren’t just looking at how a home looks anymore…
they’re thinking about maintenance, durability, and future costs.

If something feels expensive to fix, they factor it into their offer.

Smart renovations don’t just look good.
They protect your property value long-term.

Many smaller banks and non-bank lenders have also followed suit, increasing their rates to reflect the RBA’s decision.

As always, it is a good idea to check with your broker at to understand the exact timing of the change, as some institutions may make the adjustment earlier or later than others.

The RBA just lifted the cash rate by 0.25%, the first move since August. Not a shock — but it does change the landscape.

Here’s what matters 👇

🏦 Why rates went up
• Inflation is still too high (3.6% last quarter)
• Consumer spending + labour market remain strong
• RBA wants demand to cool before inflation sticks

💸 What it means for borrowers
• Repayments will rise slightly (≈ $75–$90/month per $600k loan)
• Borrowing power tightens
• Serviceability becomes more important than ever

🏡 Impact on house prices
• No crash expected
• Supply shortages still support prices
• But growth is likely to slow, especially in Sydney & Melbourne

🔨 Who feels it most
• First home buyers (reduced borrowing capacity)
• Highly leveraged buyers
• Anyone buying at the top of their budget

📊 What we’ll likely see next
• More cautious buyers
• Softer auctions
• More negotiations, fewer emotional bids

🧠 The smart move right now
• Review your loan structure
• Stress-test repayments
• Don’t assume this is “one and done”

November inflation came in softer than expected, which reduces the immediate pressure for the Reserve Bank of Australia to hike rates in February.
But here’s the catch ⬇️

• Headline CPI fell from 3.8% → 3.4%
• Trimmed mean inflation eased 3.3% → 3.2%
• Both are still above the RBA’s 2–3% target

Translation: inflation is cooling, but it’s still stubborn where it matters most.

📅 What happens next?
The February RBA meeting (Feb 2–3) will hinge on key data still to come:
• Household spending (Jan 12)
• Jobs data (Jan 22)
• December CPI + quarterly inflation (Jan 28 – the big one)

💸 Why borrowers should care
If rates do rise by 0.25%, repayments on a $600k loan could jump ~$90 per month.

🧠 The smart move right now
This is the window where proactive borrowers win.
Waiting for the RBA to move = reacting late.
Reviewing your loan now = control.

If you want to know:
• whether your rate is still competitive
• how exposed you are if rates rise again
• or what options you actually have right now
