With higher interest rates and ongoing cost of living pressures, many Aussie households are looking for ways to ease the pressure.

Checking your interest rate, repayments and loan structure may help identify options.

Some options may reduce monthly pressure, but they can also come with longer term costs or impacts, so It’s important to understand the costs, risks and longer-term impact before making changes.

The RBA has decided to hold the cash rate, keeping it at 4.35%.

The decision gives the RBA more time to assess how current interest rates are affecting inflation, household spending and the broader economy.

What could this mean for you?
• Homeowners: Your mortgage repayments may remain relatively steady for now.
• Home buyers: A rate hold can provide a little more certainty around borrowing conditions and potential repayments while you plan your next move.

What would saving $300 a month mean for your household?

If reviewing your regular expenses identified combined savings of $300 per month, that would add up to:

$3,600 over one year
$10,800 over three years
$18,000 over five years

Your result may be higher, lower—or you may find that some of your current providers still offer good value. The only way to know is to review them.

No matter where you are in your finance journey, you’re not alone. Your local MoneyQuest mortgage broker can help make the next step feel clearer.

Buying, refinancing or investing in property often starts with understanding how much you may be able to borrow.

Your borrowing power can be influenced by a range of factors, including:
• Your income.
• Your expenses.
• Existing debts.
• Credit history.
• Dependants.
• Loan type and lender policy.

Each lender may assess your situation differently, which is why speaking with a mortgage broker can help you understand what options may be available based on your circumstances.

Speak with your local MoneyQuest mortgage broker to explore your borrowing options.

Procrastinating doesn’t save you money. Taking action does.

A few small changes can add up to a meaningful saving over time. Review the expenses that regularly leave your account, including:

• Home loan
• Streaming services
• Car and home insurance
• Phone and internet plans
• Life and personal insurance

You don’t necessarily need to go without—you may simply find a better deal or remove something you no longer use.

Start with the bigger expenses. If you haven’t reviewed your home loan recently, I’m happy to check whether your rate and loan structure are still competitive.
