RBA Just Cut Interest Rates – Here’s Why Sellers Should Act Fast!

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has just slashed interest rates for the first time in over four years—a golden opportunity for sellers to capitalise on a dynamic market.

1. Buyer Demand is Booming

The 0.25% rate cut has amplified buyers' borrowing capacity, enabling them to make more competitive offers. Lower mortgage repayments mean buyers can now stretch their budgets further, intensifying competition, especially in sought-after suburbs within the Greater Ipswich region. First-home buyers, investors, and those looking to upgrade are flooding back into the market, creating a buzz of activity. According to PropTrack, for every 1% reduction in rates, there's an anticipated 6.1% national price growth—and this is just the beginning.

2. Limited Housing Supply Keeps Prices High

Currently, the market is experiencing tight supply amidst rising demand. Recent CoreLogic data indicates a dip in listings, meaning your property could shine in a less crowded marketplace. Fewer competing sellers translate to increased buyer urgency and enhanced negotiating power for you. With the upcoming election expected in May, a surge of new listings could saturate the market. Selling now allows you to take advantage of the current scarcity.

3. Future Rate Cuts Are Uncertain

While some experts anticipate additional cuts in 2025, the RBA has cautioned against expecting a swift easing cycle. Acting now ensures you harness today's momentum before potential inflation or global economic shifts hinder further rate reductions.

4. Banks Are Passing on Savings—Buyers Are Ready!

The big four banks—CBA, Westpac, NAB, and ANZ—have already reduced variable rates, saving borrowers up to $100 per month on a $600,000 loan. These savings boost buyer confidence, leading to stronger offers for your property. Westpac reports that over 500,000 potential buyers are poised to enter the market this year.
