Welcome to our November Newsletter
Interest rate news
This month, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to leave the official cash rate on hold at 0.75% pa. The decision follows a rate cut in October to the current historic low, plus previous cuts in June and July this year.
Some lenders passed on the full 0.25% cut in October, while others passed on some of the cut. If you haven’t reviewed your mortgage in a while, now is a good time to have us take a look at it for you. We may be able to find you a more competitive deal or a home loan that better suits your current financial situation and future goals.
