Borrowers are now able to “Lock-In” their Home Loan for 1 – 5 Years on Interest Rates below 5% p.a.

This is great news for Home Owners / Buyers however be mindful to consider your personal requirements & circumstance prior to “Locking-In” your interest rate as the wrong decision may be very costly.

New Year 2

The Reserve Bank has delighted borrowers by announcing that the record low interest rates will remain for the time being with the Official Cash Rate to remain at 2.50% in July 2014.

Senior Economists are not surprised by the RBA announcement as the majority continue to predict that interest rates are unlikely to change until late 2014 or early 2015.
