SETTING THE STANDARD BINET HOMES PRESENTS A MUST-SEE PROPERTY Exuding a serene elegance with a grand sweeping entry, welcome to Birchwood, a Binet Home designed and constructed.

Setting a whole a new benchmark for relaxed luxury embracing an extravagant expression of space; this home has a beautiful sense of arrival with the airiness of its soaring foyer wide generous proportions.

This stunning property is located at Alcorn Mews Estate, on 2 Mahony Street, Pitt Town.

The fully equipped kitchen is centred at the heart of the home’s design with its enormous stone island bench and butler’s pantry flanked with endless storage and integrated appliances. It again celebrates beautiful design and functionality.

Happy Vendor Buyer FABULOUS AND SUPER HARD WORKING My parents and I had a dream to buy a big house that we could all live in together. We found our dream home but hadn’t even put my parents’ house on the market yet.

Litsa worked tirelessly to get my parents’ house sold so that we could purchase our dream home together as we had a very tight deadline.

I can’t thank her enough for all her hard work. My kids are so happy and excited that our dream of all living together is coming true and it wouldn’t have happened without Litsa.

BROKING BREAKDOWN

RATE RISE COMING IT’LL BE A SHOCK TO MANY

MARK STEVENSON BELLPARTNERS.COM

The interest rate hawks are screeching louder with the latest surge in inflation prompting economists and financial market analysts to predict that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will be forced to raise official interest rates earlier than expected.

The RBA has maintained for the past few years that it did not envisage a need to lift rates until 2024 or perhaps late next year at the earliest.

But some economists are tipping the central bank may have to take action as early as May this year which could be in the middle of the Federal Election campaign.

The last time interest rates rose during an election campaign was in 2007 when Labor’s Kevin Rudd

defeated then Prime Minister John Howard.

According to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, headline inflation was up 3.5 per cent in the year to December 31, while underlying inflation – which is the RBA’s preferred measure – was 2.6 per cent, still solidly within the central bank’s two to three per cent target band.

Westpac economists have predicted the RBA will lift official interest rates from 0.1 per cent to 0.25 per cent in August, followed by a larger 0.25 per cent point hike in October.

But Bluestone Home Loans consultant economist Dr Andrew Wilson has dismissed this as

“nonsensical” because the shortterm outlook for the national labour market “remains patchy”, with the self-imposed voluntary lockdowns due to the recent surge in COVID cases throughout most of the nation impacting “economic performance through January, February and perhaps beyond”.

Despite all the screeching in the media about possible rate rises, I think many mortgage holders are not engaged with the idea and when rates do go up it could be a shock to the system seeing the last RBA rate hike was in November, 2010!

I expect as brokers we’ll see a lot more clients contacting us when this does happen.
