With the cash rate rising from 3.85% to 4.1%, they break down what’s driving the increase, including persistent inflation and global pressures, and what it means for homeowners, buyers, and borrowing capacity. The episode also explores how rate rises actually flow through the economy, why the impact isn’t immediate, and what to expect in the coming months. If you’re trying to understand how this latest rate rise affects your repayments, borrowing power, and the property market, this episode gives you a clear and practical breakdown.
