Rates On Hold: The June RBA Update Every Property Owner Needs to Hear

In this episode of Ipswich's Real Estate Podcast, Steve Athanates is joined by Steve Beach from Stanford Financial to break down the RBA's June decision and for the first time in a while, it's good news. Rates are on hold. Steve Beach unpacks the data behind the decision, including headline inflation dropping from 4.6% to 4.2%, rising unemployment, and the major banks already quietly cutting fixed rates which is a sign the tide may be starting to turn. He also explains why the RBA is now looking at quarterly trends rather than reacting to every monthly data spike. Both Steves are predicting rates stay on hold again at the next meeting in August. In the meantime, the message is clear: houses are still selling, people are still buying, and this market still represents a genuine opportunity for buyers who are ready to move.
