Client case study of the month
Kaytlin contacted our office due to financial stress from rising interest rates, increasing credit card debt, and a car loan with three years remaining. She felt overwhelmed and saw no end to her debt. We helped her with debt consolidation and refinancing to secure a better rate, freeing up $860 per month. On our advice, she reduced her credit card limit to minimise temptation. Without these changes, she feared she might have to sell her home. Now, Kaytlin feels more in control of her finances and has ongoing support from My Finance Agent.

Market insights for your clients
First-home buyers charge back into the real estate market
First-home buyers are returning to the market due to improved affordability and government incentives. Despite rising prices, they are taking advantage of lower interest rates and grants. This trend is most evident in suburban and regional areas.
A window of opportunity could be open for savvy Australian property investors, but time is ticking
Savvy Australian property investors are capitalizing on current market conditions with low competition and high interest rates, buying properties at lower prices despite short-term financial strain. They anticipate future rate cuts in late 2024 or early 2025, expecting increased competition and higher prices once rates fall.
Tides of change: Property investors are diving back in
Recent data shows a 22% increase in investor home loans, driven by record-low vacancy rates and the potential for high yields. Investors are leveraging built-up equity and focusing on regions like South Australia and Western Australia, where property values and rental prices are rising rapidly
