Rates Unchanged at 1.50%
Today’s April 4th meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced to keep the cash rate on hold at 1.5%. We expect this to remain stable for the remainder of the year.
In the last months we have seen a number of lenders increasing some of their variable rate products. Although owners saw very little movement, we saw up to 0.25% increases for interest only loans and property investment loans. This is an attempt to slow down the housing boom by making it more expensive for property investors to make future purchases.
Banks and other lenders are continually reviewing their variable and fixed interest rates and we will keep you updated on any changes that may occur in the next month.
