With the new year underway, we’ve come to the first rate news for 2017. I’d like to share today’s rate announcement and the thoughts on why the Reserve Bank of Australia has made this decision.

Of course, one of the many benefits of having me as your mortgage broker onside is I’m very happy to speak to you at any time to ensure you still have the right financial solution for your current circumstances.
