Why pre-approvals make sense for asset and equipment finance

When it comes to acquiring business equipment or vehicles, timing and confidence are everything, and that’s where a finance pre-approval gives you the edge.

A pre-approval means a lender has reviewed your financials and given you the green light to borrow up to a certain amount. This puts you in a far stronger negotiating position when dealing with suppliers. You’ll know your budget up front, which means you can act quickly if the right deal or piece of equipment comes up.

Suppliers are also more likely to take you seriously if they know your finance is already approved. It streamlines the process, speeds up delivery, and can even help you negotiate better pricing or terms because you’re seen as a ready buyer.

Pre-approval is not a full loan contract, but it gives your business clarity. It’s also a smart move if you want to shop around without the pressure of arranging finance after you’ve committed.

Why refinancing makes sense when rates are falling

When interest rates start to fall, it can be the perfect time to reassess your current loan.

By switching to a lower-rate loan, you could significantly reduce your monthly repayments, improve cash flow, or pay off your loan faster without increasing your repayments.

Refinancing when rates are declining allows you to lock in better terms, especially if your existing loan was taken out during a higher-rate period. This can lead to thousands saved over the life of the loan. It’s also an opportunity to consolidate debt, access equity for renovations or investment, or switch to a more flexible loan structure that suits your goals.

Keep in mind, timing matters. Lenders often become more competitive when rates fall, so you may be able to secure added perks like waived fees or cashback offers. However, it's essential to factor in any break fees, new loan costs, or changes to loan features.

What could your home be worth in 2030?

Australia’s property market could see major price increases by 2030 if the growth of the past five years continues, according to new PropTrack modelling. Some cities could experience 60–100% gains, while others are forecast to grow more modestly.
● Sydney: Median house prices could rise 61% to $2.4 million, with Bellevue Hill hitting a record $13.5 million.

● Melbourne: House prices may grow just 17%, taking the median to $1.001 million, with units rising slightly to $625,000.

● Brisbane: Median house prices could jump 68% to $1.53 million, fuelled by strong interstate migration.

● Adelaide: A projected 75% increase could see house prices hit $1.474 million, with northern suburbs leading the charge.

● Perth: Forecast growth of 66% could significantly lift affordability pressures as population and jobs drive demand.

● Hobart: Dodges Ferry and Rokeby could exceed $1.2 million, with 17 suburbs reaching $1M+ if trends continue.

● Darwin: Muirhead could see 107% growth to $1.512 million, the strongest projected increase nationwide.

● Canberra: House prices are forecast to grow 40%, supported by stable demand and strong fundamentals.

RBA UPDATE | Effective July 9, 2025

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has held the official cash rate steady at 3.85%, defying widespread expectations of a cut. This marks a cautious pause after two earlier cuts in February and May.

Why the hold? Despite easing inflation and slowing growth, the RBA board opted to wait for more data before making another move. In its statement, the board noted it wanted “a little more information to confirm that inflation remains on track to reach 2.5% on a sustainable basis”.

Notably, the decision wasn’t unanimous — six members voted to hold, while three supported a cut.

Mortgage holders hoping for relief will need to wait at least another month. Meanwhile, despite growing cost-of-living concerns, many Australians are still choosing to maintain higher repayments to get ahead on their loans.

Looking ahead, several factors are expected to shape the housing market for the remainder of the year. On the positive side, interest rates are forecast to fall further, possibly to the early 3% or even high 2% range by year's end, which should improve consumer sentiment and borrowing capacity. However, affordability constraints, elevated household debt levels, and a cautious lending environment may temper growth.

If you have any concerns with your current home loan, reach out to your mortgage broker. The RBA's next meeting will be announced on Tuesday, August 12.

Investors eye tourism assets

Australia’s tourism and hotel market is roaring back, with international arrivals forecast to hit 8.3 million in 2025, 88% of pre-pandemic levels. That figure is set to climb to 10 million by 2026 and 11.8 million by 2029, reflecting a 41% jump from 2024, according to Ray White.

Visitor spending has already overtaken 2019 levels, reaching $33.2 billion in 2024. By 2029, that figure is expected to hit $48.5 billion, boosted by higher travel costs and a focus on high-value travellers. Markets such as Vietnam, South Korea, and India are leading the recovery, while Chinese tourism is steadily rebuilding, with China expected to reclaim its position as Australia’s largest inbound market by 2027.

The surge in visitor numbers has seen hotel investment rebound strongly. Transaction volumes jumped over 100% year-on-year in Q1 2025 to $791.8 million, with Sydney and Melbourne remaining top targets for offshore capital. Singapore leads the way among foreign investors, closely followed by Canada and Thailand.

With the dollar low and global uncertainty pushing more travellers toward stable destinations, Australia is becoming increasingly attractive. Occupancy is up to 72.6%, ADRs are rising, and new hotel supply remains limited.

Farmland set to rebound

After a year of slowing prices, Australian farmland values are tipped to rebound in 2025, with Rabobank forecasting average growth of around 3 per cent.

This follows a 6 per cent decline in 2024, a cooling-off period after farmland prices surged 79 per cent between 2020 and 2023. While the outlook suggests a return to growth, the pace is expected to remain slower compared to recent years, with buyers becoming more value-focused.

Last year’s downturn hit some sectors harder than others, with grazing land seeing a sharp 13 per cent decline, while arable cropping land proved more resilient, dropping just 2.6 per cent. Performance also varied by region, with Western Australia and South Australia posting double-digit gains, while Tasmania experienced the steepest drop at 12 per cent.

Falling commodity prices, high fertiliser costs and elevated interest rates all weighed on purchasing power in 2024. But Rabobank expects the tide to turn this year, supported by stronger crop prospects, firmer commodity prices, and potential interest rate cuts.

The market may not see a return to the boom times of 2020–2023, but steady growth and better on-farm margins could make 2025 a better year for both buyers and sellers in the agricultural sector.

Is it time to refinance your business loan this EOFY

The end of financial year is the perfect time to take stock of your business finances and that includes your current loan. If you haven’t reviewed your business loan in the past 12 months, now is the time to do it.

With rising costs and interest rates having stabilised, it’s worth comparing your options. Refinancing could save you thousands over the life of the loan and improve your monthly cash flow. It can also give you access to more flexible terms, allow you to consolidate debt, or even unlock equity to invest in equipment, stock, or growth opportunities.

EOFY is a great time to assess your repayment strategy and ensure your current loan structure still suits your business goals. It also means you can enter the new financial year with a clear, effective funding strategy.

Speak with a finance broker to compare your refinancing options.

Listings to cool this winter

Property listings are already starting to cool as winter approaches, with new research showing a seasonal slowdown across much of Australia.

According to Ray White, property listings drop by an average of 7% from May to June, with winter months averaging 39,895 new listings, about 2% below the rest of the year. The trend is particularly strong in colder regions, where the chill tends to push homeowners to delay selling.

Regional Tasmania leads the nation in winter slowdowns, with listings down 20% compared to other seasons. Hobart follows closely behind, recording a 19% winter decline. Regional South Australia, Canberra, and Regional Victoria also see double-digit falls in new listings during the colder months.

Regional areas experience a 4.67% average drop in winter listings, compared to a more modest 1.75% decline in capital cities, suggesting that rural sellers may be more responsive to seasonal factors or have greater flexibility to travel.

However, not all markets slow down. Darwin defies the trend, with listings jumping by 17.4% during winter, taking advantage of its dry-season appeal. Brisbane and Regional Queensland also see winter activity rise, each recording a 7% increase in listings.

How invoice finance can smooth out EOFY cash flow

As the end of financial year approaches, many businesses feel the pinch with clients delaying payments, expenses piling up, and cash flow getting tight just when they need it most.

If you're chasing late invoices while trying to settle your own obligations before June 30, invoice finance could be the cash flow solution you need.

Instead of waiting up to 90 days for customers to pay, invoice finance gives you fast access to funds tied up in your receivables. A lender advances you a percentage of the unpaid invoice (often up to 85%), with the remainder paid when the customer settles. This means you can pay staff, suppliers, or taxes on time, without adding extra strain to your working capital.

EOFY is also when many businesses want to take advantage of last-minute deals or asset write-offs. With smoother cash flow, invoice finance lets you act quickly without needing to dip into savings or apply for a new loan.

Speak to a finance broker to see if invoice finance is right for your business this EOFY.

Home renovation trends we’re seeing in 2025

Whether you're planning to sell or simply upgrade your lifestyle at home, here are four trends that we’re seeing.

Renovate with the next buyer in mind - Even if you’re not selling right away, renovating with broad appeal in mind is a smart move. Think energy efficiency, functional floor plans, upgraded tech, and timeless finishes. These updates will help attract buyers when the time comes to sell.

Bring the spa home - Bathrooms continue to be one of the most valuable areas to renovate. In 2025, spa-inspired updates are trending, like rain showers, underfloor heating and soft lighting. Even small touches like a new vanity, mirror, or heated towel rail can transform the space without breaking the budget.

Prioritise wellness and natural light - Home gyms, meditation corners and natural light-filled rooms are on the rise. Open floor plans, eco-friendly materials and greenery indoors are helping Aussies create calming, energising spaces to support their mental and physical wellbeing.

Pet-friendly design that looks good - Built-in pet beds, stylish wash stations and durable, easy-clean materials are becoming part of high-end renovations. It’s all about creating spaces that work for the two-legged and four.

Planning to renovate? Speak to a mortgage broker about the smartest ways to finance your home upgrades.

Property prices could double by 2030

Property prices could double in many suburbs by 2030 if current growth trends continue, according to new data from PropTrack.

The modelling, which assumes the past five years of growth are repeated, predicts that Sydney’s median house price could jump from $1.49 million to $2.4 million, with suburbs like Bellevue Hill potentially reaching $13.5 million.

Adelaide, already one of the strongest-performing capitals, could see its median house price climb to $1.47 million after a 75% increase since 2020. Brisbane is also on track for major gains, with the median house price rising to $1.53 million, up nearly $700,000.

Darwin’s Muirhead is expected to be the nation’s top performer, with values forecast to more than double, reaching $1.5 million.

Melbourne, meanwhile, may experience more modest growth, with its median rising just $146,000 to hit $1.001 million by the end of the decade.

RBA UPDATE | Effective May 21, 2025

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has lowered the official cash rate by 25 basis points, marking the second rate cut of 2025. Now sitting at 3.85%, this decision was driven by falling inflation and easing economic growth.

Australian Broker reported on the relief to mortgage holders and investors. “Even a small cut could shave thousands off annual repayments — a timely boost as households continue to grapple with soaring living costs.”

Since the last cut in February, property prices have surged, according to data from PropTrack. Inner Melbourne leads with 3.6% growth in house prices and 5.9% in unit prices, the fastest in Australia. Melbourne’s affordability has subsequently drawn buyers, with 40% of Victorians believing it's a good time to buy.

Darwin is attracting investors with high rental yields and has rebounded with a 3.3% house price increase, while the Gold Coast saw nearly 3% growth. Queensland, particularly Townsville, leads annual growth, with house prices up 22%.

If you’d like to reevaluate your mortgage, why not reach out to a broker for a complimentary home loan health check? The RBA's next meeting will be announced on Tuesday, July 8.
