Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the August issue of our newsletter.

At its meeting today, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to lower the official cash rate by 0.25% to 3.60%, marking its third reduction this year.

In this issue, read about our key takeaways around it still being a landlord's market, see how top public schools are sought after catchment zones and how they attract a hefty housing premium and see the things to consider when setting a budget to buy property. In addition, see if annual property growth will persist at 7% perpetually and for a bit of downtime we have included some crossword puzzles.

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

Kind regards,

Donna Westwood
