RBA Cuts Interest Rates to 4.1%
Homeowners and Buyers Get Relief and Support
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has announced a reduction in the cash rate from 4.35% to 4.10%, effective February 28, 2025. This marks the first rate cut since November 2020. It provides significant relief to homeowners with variable-rate mortgages. This change in interest rates will impact many aspects of the economy. It especially affects those monitoring interest rates closely.
Impact on Homeowners
With this rate cut, homeowners can anticipate savings of approximately $90 per month, totaling around $1,080 annually. Major banks, including NAB, Westpac, CBA, and ANZ, have committed to passing on the full rate cut to borrowers. However, the implementation of new interest rates may take 10 to 14 days. Borrowers might need to contact their banks to adjust their monthly repayments accordingly.
