RBA Govenor

Reserve Bank … We’re not changing rates anytime soon

Great News for Borrowers

The RBA Governor (Glenn Stevens) reported to the House Economics Committee in Brisbane yesterday (20/8/2014) that the RBA “hadn’t thought about raising rates recently”

Mr Stevens also stated that “The board has been mindful of allowing time for measures already taken to have their effects, and of the very considerable limitations for monetary policy in fine-tuning economic outcomes over short periods. It has also seen some value, in the present circumstances, in maintaining a sense of steadiness and stability”.

Happy New Financial Year

July 1, 2014 in Insider Tips, Latest News, Rate Cuts, Rate Rises

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.

Who Pays the Mortgage Broker ???

June 13, 2014 in Insider Tips, Latest News

Question 3

QUESTION … Do the Banks add the commission paid to my Mortgage Broker onto my Home Loan?

ANSWER … No !!!

Reason … Banks are more than willing to absorb 100% of the cost to pay your Mortgage Broker as this expense is significantly lower than the costs the Bank would incur to employ more Lending Managers.

Mortgage Managers (e.g. Aussie Home Loans + RAMS Home Loans) do take into account all acquisition and business costs within their interest rate charges however, the vast majority of Mortgage Managers charge the same interest rates or lower for clients utilising the services of Mortgage Brokers.

New Loan Approval Criteria for Home Buyers

June 10, 2014 in Insider Tips, Latest News

Goalposts

The Banks have changed the Goal Posts for Home Buyers with most Banks now requiring borrowers to save a minimum of 10% deposit (previously 5%).

Home Buyers with less than 10% deposit will need to have a VERY STRONG finance application to be considered for approval and may be charged higher interest rates.

The problem faced by those currently applying for Housing Finance is that if the Bank or Mortgage Insurer declines your application you may need to wait up to 6 months before being considered for approval.
