Boothy Bites Episode 34 - Would you Build in this Market?

Welcome back to the latest episode of Boothy Bites with Chris Booth and Jackie Bowker! It's been another big month, with global events creating ripple effects across markets, interest rates and property. In this episode of Boothy's Bites, we unpack how rising fuel costs and ongoing uncertainty are putting pressure back on inflation and what that means for the direction of interest rates in the months ahead. We also break down where rates are currently sitting for both owner occupiers and investors, what a potential 0.5% increase could mean for everyday borrowers, and why affordability and borrowing capacity are becoming more challenging. There's also a look at the return of cashback offers, shifting lender behaviour and new solutions emerging in the bridging and equity loan space. On the property side, we're seeing a clear slowdown in demand, tighter borrowing conditions and more caution from buyers, particularly with potential policy changes on the horizon. As always, it's a changing landscape, and having the right strategy and support in place is more important than ever. Learn about all these and more by tuning in to the episode right now! 👀   𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 https://youtu.be/0_WBn7rJCak   𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐬 Website: https://www.lydian.com.au Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/www.lydian.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lydianfinancialservices/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lydian-financial-services   𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 https://calendly.com/lydian-1/chris-booth
