January 2010 Newsletter Website | Email | Forward to a Friend | Print


Hello,

A new year brings with it new challenges, but also an opportunity to set new goals. With rental yields, interest rates and the economy on the up, it's hard not to feel that this year is all about positive change.

In this newsletter we have a look at what the statistics show for rising rental yields (below), plus how bank customers can save by moving to a cheaper mortgage provider (article 2). In article 3 we outline what the economists are predicting for interest rates over the coming year.

Article 4 continues the theme of change, with some practical advice on New Year's resolutions - how to make them and how to keep them! As your mortgage broker we would be delighted to help you with any financial goals you may wish to achieve this coming year.

Enjoy this newsletter and feel free to pass it on to family and friends.

Rents on the Up & Up

Property investors can hit the ground running in 2010 with the news that rents are predicted to keep rising around the nation.

Economic forecaster, BIS Shrapnel, is anticipating rental growth to increase by an average of 5.8 per cent a year over the next three years. This increase would result in landlords pocketing an extra $1.9 billion in rents between 2010 and 2012.

Save Dollars

Think what you could do with an extra $3,000 in your pocket - a holiday, new TV, gym membership? That's how much you could save by letting us shop around for your home loan.

A $3,000 saving each year in interest repayments and fees equates to a saving of $48,000 over the life of a loan, taking the example of an average loan of $250,000 with a 30 year term. Even a small difference in rates and fees can add up to thousands long term.

Economy on the Mend

If we could place bets on interest rate movements, the odds would be firmly stacked in favour of more rate rises over the coming year.

Of course we can't take bets, but we can tell you what the experts are predicting. A recent survey of 17 economists by Australian Associated Press found that all believed interest rates would now keep moving upward, spelling the end of near 50-year lows. The survey's median forecast for where Reserve Bank interest rates will be sitting mid 2010 was 4.25 per cent.

The Year Ahead

George Eliot's inspirational quote 'It's never too late to be what you might have become' is a great way to start off your new year in the right frame of mind.
