Season’s greetings! Here’s to a well-earned summer break
As the Christmas and New Year’s festive season rolls around, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your trust and support throughout 2025.
Fortunately, we had a bit more to smile about this year, with three RBA rate cuts and national property prices increasing by 8.7%.
That said, 2025 wasn’t without its hardships, with many families around the country still facing cost-of-living pressures and inflation starting to creep back up again (which inevitably brings with it talk of rate hikes, rather than cuts).
Looking ahead, if there’s anything we can do to help ease any cost-of-living pressures you may be experiencing, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can review your home loan.
Alternatively, if you’re looking to buy your first home, second home, or an investment property (or a family member mentions any of the above over the Christmas catch-up), we hope you think of us!
But for now, take a well-earned pause, enjoy the festive moments, and spend time with the people who matter most.
While the year ahead will no doubt bring its own surprises, one thing remains constant: our commitment to supporting you at every stage of your property journey.
Wishing you a joyful Christmas, a relaxing break, and a bright, opportunity-filled year ahead. We look forward to supporting you again in 2026.
