The RBA just held. Don't mistake that for relief.
Three rate rises this year have already added hundreds to your monthly repayments.

Today's hold isn't a green light. The Board explicitly said it's ready to raise again if inflation doesn't fall fast enough. Oil prices are still elevated. Goods and services costs are still climbing. The economy is slowing — but not fast enough.

If your fixed rate is expiring in the next 6 to 12 months, you are walking into the highest variable rate environment in over a decade.

This is not the time to roll onto your bank's standard variable and hope for the best.

A review of your current rate, your lender's revert rate, and what's available in the market could put you in a meaningfully better position — subject to your circumstances.

Here's something most people don't realise: the credit card you barely use could be quietly shrinking how much you can borrow for a home.

Fresh RBA figures out yesterday show Australians actually paid down credit card debt in April — the balance accruing interest fell $288 million to $19.4 billion. Good news. But card spending overall still hit $88.5 billion, the second-highest month on record, as the cost of everyday essentials stays high. The average credit card rate? 18.59% — one of the most expensive forms of debt going around.

Why does this matter if you're thinking about a home loan? When a lender assesses your application, they don't just look at what you owe on the card — they look at your total credit limit. A $15,000 limit you never touch can still be counted as an ongoing commitment, trimming your borrowing power by tens of thousands.

So before you apply, it's worth doing two things: pay down what's accruing that 18.59% interest, and take a hard look at whether you actually need every card and every dollar of limit you're carrying. Reducing or closing a card you don't use can lift the amount a lender is willing to approve — subject to your circumstances and the lender's policy.

The cleaner your liabilities look, the stronger your application.

Sydney and Melbourne home values have edged down for the first time this year — and that changes the maths for anyone thinking about buying.

The latest figures show national home prices have flattened out, with the two biggest capitals leading the slowdown after three cash rate rises pushed the official rate to 4.35%. Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth are still climbing, so this isn't a national crash — the market is splitting into different speeds.

Here's what it means on the ground. In the cooling capitals, auction clearance rates have softened and sellers are meeting buyers closer to the middle. That can mean less competition and a bit more room to negotiate. The catch sits on the borrowing side: higher rates have trimmed how much banks will lend, so the amount you qualify for today may be lower than it was 12 months ago.

So the real question isn't "are prices up or down" — it's "what can I actually borrow, and does that line up with where I want to buy?" Those two numbers decide everything, and they're worth checking before you fall for a property at an open home, subject to your circumstances and eligibility.

NAB just became the first major bank to raise fixed home loan rates since the May cash rate decision — and the signal is worth paying attention to.

Their one-year and two-year fixed rates went up by 0.15 percentage points, taking the one-year to 6.49% and the two-year to 6.54%. It's not a massive jump, but it tells you something: the banks aren't confident the rate hiking cycle is finished.

Here's the number that stood out to me. At the start of this year, 83 lenders offered at least one fixed rate under 6%. Today? Just three. Fixed rates under 6% are almost gone.

Variable is now where the competition lives. Over 40 lenders still have variable rates starting below 6%, which is why almost 90% of the most competitive rates on the market right now are variable, not fixed.

Meanwhile, APRA data shows Australians added $14.3 billion in new housing debt in April alone — pushing the total mortgage market to a record $2.48 trillion. Borrowers are still active, but they're being more deliberate about where they borrow and at what rate.

If you haven't reviewed your home loan since the hikes started in February, this is a good time. On a $600,000 loan, the difference between a rate above 7% and one closer to 6% works out to roughly $350 a month. That's money you could be putting toward your family, your savings, or your next property.

Did you see the surprise in April's inflation data? Headline CPI dropped to 4.2%, but underlying inflation just ticked up to 3.4%
Many families in our community are already using this brief pause to move away from older loans sitting above 7% Right now, there are competitive choices around 5.69% to 5.99% available from over 40 different lenders across the country However, with underlying inflation rising, some banks are already forecasting rate increases for August The current lending conditions could change at any moment. If you haven't reviewed your mortgage since the three recent hikes added roughly $272 a month to a typical $600,000 loan, time is running out to secure a better position

RBA Cash Rate Increase to 4.35% (May 2026)

The Reserve Bank of Australia has just announced a 25 basis point increase, bringing the cash rate target to 4.35%
In its May 2026 meeting, the RBA Board voted by majority to increase rates for the third time, citing rising inflation, domestic capacity pressures, and surging fuel prices stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East

The Board highlighted that these higher energy costs are already adding to inflation and may have second-round effects on the prices of goods and services more broadly
With the cash rate now sitting at 4.35%, lenders will likely adjust their variable interest rates shortly

This means your home loan repayments could be directly impacted. As financial conditions tighten and uncertainty remains high now is a critical time to review your loan structure and ensure your household budget is protected against these rising borrowing costs.

Let's discuss competitive options tailored to your situation.

🚨 Australia's inflation just hit 4.6% — and your home loan could be next to feel it.

The ABS just released Q1 2026 CPI data, and the numbers are sobering. Headline inflation surged from 3.7% to 4.6% in the 12 months to March. That's well above the RBA's 2–3% target — and it almost certainly means another rate hike is coming at the May 4–5 meeting.

Here's what's driving prices up 👇

🏠 Housing costs up 6.5% year-on-year (rents up 3.7%; new dwellings up 4.5%)
⛽ Fuel prices up a staggering 24.2% year-on-year — and 32.8% in March alone
🛡️ Insurance premiums up 3.7%

All four of Australia's Big Four banks (CBA, Westpac, NAB, ANZ) are forecasting a 0.25% rate hike at the May RBA meeting — which would push the official cash rate to 4.35%.

💡 What does this mean for you?

📉 Your borrowing power may decrease again if rates rise
💸 Variable rate mortgage holders could see repayments increase
🏙️ Sydney and Melbourne property prices have been flat since October 2025 — a sign the market is responding to pressure
🔄 Lenders are already hiking fixed rates in anticipation

Now is a great time to review your current loan structure, compare lenders, and understand your options before the next decision is made.
