    Boothy Bites Episode 34 - Would you Build in this Market?

    Welcome back to the latest episode of Boothy Bites with Chris Booth and Jackie Bowker! It's been another big month, with global events creating ripple effects across markets, interest rates and property. In this episode of Boothy's Bites, we unpack how rising fuel costs and ongoing uncertainty are putting pressure back on inflation and what that means for the direction of interest rates in the months ahead. We also break down where rates are currently sitting for both owner occupiers and investors, what a potential 0.5% increase could mean for everyday borrowers, and why affordability and borrowing capacity are becoming more challenging. There's also a look at the return of cashback offers, shifting lender behaviour and new solutions emerging in the bridging and equity loan space. On the property side, we're seeing a clear slowdown in demand, tighter borrowing conditions and more caution from buyers, particularly with potential policy changes on the horizon. As always, it's a changing landscape, and having the right strategy and support in place is more important than ever.

    Boothy Bites Episode 33 - From Rate Pressure to Property Strategy

    Welcome back to the latest episode of Boothy Bites with Chris Booth and Jackie Bowker! This episode has been filmed before the RBA's rate hike on March 17. March is already shaping up to be a big one. In this episode, we unpack the latest across rates, markets and what's happening behind the scenes at Lydian as the year gains momentum. With global uncertainty driving volatility, rising fuel costs and shifting bond markets, the outlook for interest rates has changed quickly, and a potential rate hike is now firmly back on the table. We break down what the RBA is watching, how lenders are responding and where fixed and variable rates are sitting right now. We also explore what this means for borrowers and investors, including SMSF lending making a return, tighter property conditions across key markets and the importance of having the right strategy and advice in place. Alongside that, we share updates from Lydian HQ, new team growth and the launch of Property Coffee Club, bringing deeper insights into property and investment conversations. Plenty happening, and plenty to watch as we head further into 2026!
