At Australian Property Talk, two ex-Treasury Economists have a chat about all things Aussie Real Estate. I'm Redom Syed, founder of Confidence Finance, an award-winning mortgage broking company that’s worked with 1000s of homebuyers and investors across the country. When I was 15, both my parents lost their jobs and our family eventually lost the house & car to debt collectors. Since then, I've built one of Australia's best mortgage broking businesses - ranking inside the top 100 mortgage brokers for 5 years running. I've also built up a $25million property portfolio, buying my first home in 2014 to developing luxury homes across Sydney today. On this journey, I've met 1000s of amazing people who've helped inspire me. Curtis Stewart, my co-host, is one of Australia's leading brokers and is an active property investor.

    The 4 Step Process to Interest Rate Cuts: What to look out for?

    The 4 Step Process to Interest Rate Cuts: What to look out for?

    We deep dive into the Australian economy, jobs market, and rate cycle.  We also unpack how Australia compares to the US and why they are doing so well, while we are barely growing at all.

    We discuss the slowly moving rate cycle, and why we're now in PHASE 2 of this transition from raising rates to cutting.  
    1.  Stop increasing rates, but posture that more rate rises are coming.
    2.  Removing the 'posturing' of further rate rises.
    3.  Begin communicating that we expect to cut rates later in the year.
    4. Actually cutting rates
    In the latest meeting, the RBA have moved from step 1 to step 2.
