800,000 FIXED LOANS ABOUT TO EXPIRE
While many mortgage holders have gritted their teeth and adjusted to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s interest rate hikes over the past nine months, there are hundreds of thousands who this year will have to face the grim reality of a big jump in the cost of
their mortgage when their fixed rate terms end.
The RBA revealed to a Federal parliamentary committee up to 800,000 fixed rate home loan contracts, including thousands of borrowers who locked in rates of around two per cent for the past two to three years, will expire by the end of
the year. The head of the economic analysis department at the RBA, Marion Kohler, said about a third of outstanding housing credit is fixed rate.
“We think about half of that is due to roll off in the coming year,” Ms Kohler said.
“We understand that some people are finding the rise in interest rates difficult to manage and others will have to cut back on discretionary spending. However, higher interest rates are necessary to ensure that the current period of higher inflation and cost-of-living pressures does not persist too long.”
This situation with fixed rate
contracts expiring should not come as a shock to those affected.
People who took advantage of fixed rates at all-time lows as a rule know this has been coming for some time and they will be taking action.
Certainly, there will be some fall out and people struggling to repay their loans may have no choice but to sell their home.
But some will be able to refinance to rates that while not as low as their fixed rate will be more competitive than most variable rates currently on offer.
Others won’t be able to refinance and will be stuck with their current lender.

IN 2023, LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD WITH DESIGN
As we move into 2023, creating a beautiful sanctuary at home remains key. For those looking to update their personal spaces, there are many fresh and diverse new moods on the scene that homeowners can individualise and tailor to suit their style.
“Having had time to reflect deeply on personal taste over the last three years, 2023 is a great opportunity for homeowners to express their individuality and style through their interiors,” said Neale Whitaker, interior design expert and Luxaflex Brand Ambassador.
“2023 is all about being brave and letting the imagination run wild. It’s the perfect opportunity to create a wonderfully stylish home that is completely how you want it to be.”
Often seen as the finishing touch to an overall home design, window treatments can elevate a room, creating depth and warmth, while providing functionality tailored to the homeowner’s individual needs.
“The role of window coverings has evolved significantly over the years as technology and design have improved. With a better understanding of the transformative effect of light, the role of window furnishings today is far more than just light control, offering noise and temperature insulation as well,” Whitaker said.
“When designing your home, it’s important to remember your priorities and consider how you want to live in your home. When choosing design elements, homeowners should think about what they love and what they enjoy and pull this together into a cohesive design narrative.”
To assist in executing a unique style at home, we have identified eight key looks that capture the interior lifestyle trends for 2023, with advice on how to utilise the power that natural light and privacy play, through a selection of beautiful contemporary Luxaflex window coverings.
Le Salon
A mix of classic and contemporary styles permeates throughout the opulent theme, inspired by the luxurious femininity of a classic Paris apartment. Soft and sumptuous, the colour palette features gentle antique whites, soft pink and dove tones with cosy accents of brass and rose, enhanced through muted animal and floral prints. Luxaflex Sakura curtain print in silver and honey, featuring delicate blossom flowers is a perfect example of this style and creates understated beauty and elegance in a room.
Natural Elevation
A strong modern style, this theme combines warm woods, textured neutrals, robust shapes and artisanal accessories. A contemporary look is achieved using tones of the brown colour palette, including rust, caramel, bone with highlight touches of ruby. Luxaflex Duette Shades in Elan Birch Bark teamed with Byron Sheer Curtains in Byron Smoke, Borocay Taupe or Ashlynn Mouse, provide the perfect backdrop, creating an emotional connection to the calming environment.
Soft Spatial
The soft spatial trend exemplifies serene and feminine spaces through tonal stripes and sheer detail. Muted clays and antique white hues are the core colours that feature throughout this elegant theme. Accents of rust, pink and kohl allow for individual expression. The Luxaflex Sheer Curtain range offers the perfect finishing touch to this style of interior, adding a visual element of textural depth and dimension to transform a room.
Monoterra
A dramatic yet elegant interpretation of the monochromatic expression. This bold scheme of black and white is accented with layered neutral tones, natural materials, powerful graphics, and bold stripes. Using colours that vary in lightness and saturation can create a clean, sophisticated look, whilst using variations in textures can subdue the boldness of a strong colour such as black.

Western Property Magazine www.facebook.com/westernpropertymag 8
Rural Contemporary
Reflecting a contemporary country farmhouse, this style highlights symmetry, texture and classic patterns, showcased through a colour palette of antique white and muted grey. The look is softened through linen textiles and tonal layering. Get the look with Luxaflex PolySatin Shutters which feature a soft, matte lustre look of freshly painted wood, are impervious to moisture and will not blister, peel, flake, corrode or fade.
Pacifica
Coastal themes are ever-present and constantly evolving. Cool blue and crisp white accents are highlighted through beach-inspired tones, while natural materials such as rattan and bamboo alongside touches of green-based blues bring this relaxed theme to life. Luxaflex Pirouette Shadings in Shantung Nocturne, ClearView Satin Blueprint or Satin Luxe provides the perfect backdrop with blinds that speak to the coastal feel with their blue-based tones but gently filter light with a simple turn of their vanes to make interiors feel effortless and calming.
Sunset Villa
Warm arid tones such as turmeric and rouge feature throughout this theme, evoking a suggestion of island life where waxed and distressed woods live with grasses and reeds. Matt textiles of brushed cotton and canvas bring a relaxed atmosphere to the overall aesthetic, while patterned textiles and exposed ceiling beams feature in living spaces that inspire relaxation.
The Moderne
Lineal elements, both vertical and horizontal are crucial elements of this streamlined look. Velvet, tight-piled textiles and burled woods accent the theme alongside brushed bronze and ribbed pewter. Luxaflex Luminette Privacy Sheers in Ella Endless Gray or Nightfall, create a classic modern vibe. Diffusing light or restricting light is easy with the choice of translucent or room-darkening opacities whilst providing an elegant curtain-like look to a room.

BUILDING WITH CUBITT’S
Why are Granny Flats such a good
right
An upward trend for interest rates, and a risky feeling about knock-down rebuild projects means current and aspiring homeowners are looking for ways to increase the value of their property – enter the Granny Flat.
Building a Granny Flat on an existing property allows you to make the most of every square metre of your home. You’d be surprised how spacious and accommodating they can be.
A Granny Flat can offer you financial advantages which could help insulate your lifestyle against cost of living and interest rate rises, whilst increasing the value of your home. Most importantly, a Granny Flat can offer you and your family incredible versatility.
When it comes time to sell down the track – your investment now, will pay off later. Research from the Property Council of Australia found that building a Granny Flat could boost your home value by 30%.
If your parents are ready to downsize their living space and release equity from a larger home, building a Granny Flat could provide ‘instant superannuation’ for your aging parents.
With rental prices at an all-time high and availability at an all-time low, keeping your adult kids close in a Granny Flat makes sense. A Granny Flat is the perfect option for your family’s dynamic needs.
Depending on size, spec and the requirements of your block, purchasing or constructing a Granny Flat is often less expensive than financing a stand-alone investment property.
