RBA’s Christmas Call: What the Rate Hold Means for Your Finances

rba cash rate

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has decided to maintain the cash rate at its December meeting, leaving it at 4.35%. While this move wasn’t the Christmas miracle many Australians were hoping for, it provides an opportunity to reflect on its implications for borrowers and businesses. At Opulent Finance, our team of professional mortgage brokers and finance experts in Melbourne is here to guide you through what this decision means for your financial plans.

The RBA’s Decision and Its Impact on Borrowers

The RBA’s decision to hold the cash rate steady comes amid high inflation and economic uncertainty. For borrowers, this means continued pressure to manage their finances as interest rates remain elevated. However, this stability can also help families and businesses better plan for the future.

How Does This Affect Homeowners?

Mortgage holders will continue to face higher repayments, especially if they are on variable rates. Professional mortgage brokers in Glen Waverley, Burwood, and Blackburn can help homeowners explore refinancing options to secure more competitive rates or adjust loan terms to ease financial stress.

Small Business and Commercial Borrowing

Businesses looking to expand or manage cash flow may also feel the pinch. Commercial finance brokers in Melbourne, including our experienced team at Opulent Finance, can assist in finding tailored solutions to meet commercial financing needs despite the challenging landscape.

Opportunities Amidst Challenges

While the rate hold means borrowing costs remain high, it also provides borrowers time to evaluate their financial strategies. Whether you’re seeking a home loan, refinancing options, or business finance, partnering with experts is critical.

We have had a very pleasant experience working with Opulent Finance. We did not have that much experience with house loans as we were first home buyers but working with Opulent  Finance team specially with Ishara, made that experience stress free one. She helped us secure an incredibly competitive interest rate and offered her guidance so we can take advantage of the future interest rate drop. Thank you Ishara, Dayan and team for your incredible support and we have no hesitation what so ever in recommending Opulent Finance for your financial needs

Ishara is highly knowledgeable and if you are a first home buyer and new to the intricacies of all that home loans entail, she will really take you under her wing and impart her knowledge and experience and treat you as one of her own. She is also extremely patient but will also be very truthful and upfront in situations which is honestly what you need. She did a very complicated loan for us, and was so incredible efficient and organised with all the paperwork that was required. Not only that, she helped us secure an incredibly competitive interest rate! Ishara has probably spent hours and hours explaining to me details and giving me really good guidance through this momentous period in life! During the cooling off period and settlement, she was constantly chasing up our loan and honestly took a personal interest in the outcome. Our solicitor was also very happy about working with Ishara as she was following the entire process, was always up to date and very easy to work with. Considering that our entire process happened during the covid-19 lock-down and work from home environment, we have nothing but good things to say about how professional Ishara was as she didn't let a single thing slip. We are so glad that we have both Ishara and Dayan in our corner. We will definitely be using them for all future financing needs. Thank you Ishara, Dayan and team!

I have been dealing with Ishara at Opulent Finance for over 6 months now and she has been faultless. She has helped me secure a loan pre-approval in no time and assisted me with my property purchases. I could not recommend Ishara highly enough.
