Christmas Gift of 1% Interest Rate Reduction

INTEREST RATE REDUCTION OF 1% - 02/12/2008 - The RBA has today given the economy a full 1.00% reduction in the official interest rates. This will save a borrower with a $250,000 home loan $2500 per annum in interest which is over $200 per month extra cash they will have in their pocket. We are now getting to a point where potential new home buyers really should look at their options to purchase instead of renting. We have been predicting a surge in new home buyers coming onto the market ever since the two pronged stimulus of interest rate reductions and very generous first home buyers grant of up to $21,000

With variable rates at 6.00% and the likelihood of more rate reductions in February and March 2009 then I can't remember a better time to buy that first home. Don't forget that the First Home Buyers Grant will reduce back to $7000 on 30/06/09 and if it the government choose to maintain that grant, then it will give a stimulus to the market and increase home values across the board. Either way you really can't afford to miss out on that grant if you are eligible for it.
