Belle Property – Market Report example 2
As 2020 draws to a close, the team at Belle Property [suburb] are reflecting on what has been an incredible year, with significant Covid challenges, a responsive change to the way we do business and ultimately a lot of great results and success.
The property market continues to bounce back and thrive from the Covid stumble earlier this year, driven by a lack of good quality family homes on the market and underpinned by ‘near zero’ interest rates from our banks.
Some interesting points about the current property and mortgage market:
- Australian home values have risen for the first time in October since the pandemic started in March
- The total value of home loan approvals surged 12.6% in August to $21.6bn, led by record growth in owner occupier approvals to $16.2bn
- The RBA’s Governor Philip Lowe last month stated that he does not expect to raise the cash rate for at least 3 years
The Treasurer has also announced that responsible lending laws will be wound back as of March next year, which is expected to:
- Make the loan assessment process more efficient and speed up the flow of credit
- Reduce the administrational burden on lenders as well as consumers
The best current offers we are seeing from the major banks at the moment are:
- 2.35% owner occupied variable
- 1.89% owner occupied fixed
- 2.49% investment interest only fixed (this translates to $479 per week for every $1m borrowed)
- $4,000 refinance rebates available
- Mortgage Insurance Waivers available for first home buyers and certain professions
