    Will be totally ineffective...even if there is a 50 basis point cut the banks will pass on only 40 point..issue is credit crunch!

    They need to let more credit through....I can see rents heading up 15-20% in the next 3 years which is also inflationary..if they don't change some of the APRA policies. This will be far more effective.

    Its like going back to feudal system...in OZ...people with assets returning income will be the winners. I have worked out that on portfolio...that is 75-100k of extra income. Sure not every are will be impact but I feel with 85% of my portfolio outside of Sydney (not counting regional NSW and Central Coast) even if get say 10% growth at 80% that is an additional 40%. Places like Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne are going to grow a lot quicker in rents...the signs are already there....

    Looks like CBA has already done the head start: Commonwealth Bank cuts home loan interest rates | Canstar
    Most probably, the other big lender will follow suit, especially when combined with a $2000 refinance fee.

    I never thought that this is possible given the higher USD$ (cost of borrowing).

    Hmm not particularly imo. For investment loans sweet spot seems to be 2 years fixed P&I at 3.89 on package

    with the oversupply OTP property rate at the moment, it is too optimistic to reach that number.

    A lot of builders not able to get projects off the ground. Once this happens...it takes awhile for supply to be turned on again...it could take years.

    The other factor is of Labor gets in rents will definitely rise..

    Yes, I agree with that, it does make sense.

    There's 60,000 units apparently to be built in Sydney but I know for sure most of them wont get built, as prices are falling and less demand and other in the works currently...

    Commercial is growing big time thou...

    and today, swap rates are down approx 15 bps across the yield curve

    i.e. banks' funding costs are down down down, and have scope for rate cuts especially fixed rate products!
