They unpack what's driving the increase, from stubborn inflation to a second wave of cost pressures flowing through from the Middle East conflict, hitting transport, building costs, and everyday goods. Steve also explains why the underlying trimmed inflation figure held steady and what that means for where rates could go next. If you own property, are thinking about buying, or have investment properties, this episode gives you a clear and practical breakdown of what's happening right now and what to watch for in the months ahead.","meta_description":"In this episode of Ipswich's Real Estate Podcast, Daniel Parsons steps in for Steve Athanates and is joined by Steve Beach from Stanford Financial to brea…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":483,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ipswich-s-real-estate-podcast-6570935/episodes/rate-rise-to-4-35-the-forces-driving-the-rba-s-decision/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ipswich-s-real-estate-podcast-6570935/rate-rise-to-4-35-the-forces-driving-the-rba-s-decision.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
