Hi Everyone,


Welcome to the May issue of our newsletter.

At its meeting today, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to increase the official cash rate by 0.25 basis points to 0.35%.

In this issue see how the budget will benefit prospective home buyers with the Family Home Guarantee Scheme, we show you how the federal election will impact the property market and why it is important to assess the full impact of your finances before moving into a retirement village as they become more affordable. In addition, here are some thoughts to consider before making the decision to either renovate, rebuild or relocate and how far will prices fall due to the Australian housing slowdown that is predicted.

Please feel free to contact us about any matter - we are always happy to hear from you and to assist!

Kind regards,
