Good evening, dreamers from Australia! On this cool Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 10:15 PM AEST, the sun is setting over the Sydney Opera House. The air is full with possibilities. After cutting the cash rate to 3.85% on May 20, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has given homebuyers across the country hope.
Eligibility: Your Golden Ticket to Owning a Home
Imagine walking inside your first house, a cute cottage in Melbourne or a bright flat in Brisbane. To make this goal come true, you need to achieve a few important requirements:
Age and Place of Residence: Welcome home if you’re 18 or older and an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or in a relationship with one.
Steady Income: Lenders love a steady wage. If you work for someone else, show them your pay stubs. If you work for yourself, bring two years’ worth of tax returns. Even people who work part-time can do well with extra proof.
A score above 700: (check it at Equifax) gives you access to the greatest bargains, while a score below 600 would need some work.
Your Deposit Dream: Try to save 20% so you don’t have to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), but 5–10% will work with a little additional love. The First Home Guarantee helps first-time homebuyers with just 5% of the purchase price, up to $125,000 for a single person or $200,000 for a couple.
Balanced Finances: To demonstrate lenders, you’re ready for this journey, keep your debt-to-income ratio below 40%.
We at Sri Finance look at your individual situation and identify solutions to make you eligible, no matter where you are.
A Symphony of Savings in 2025: Interest Rates
Imagine how happy you would be if your home was filled with the sound of lower payments. This is how interest rates will move in 2025:
Rates that change: It’s hovering at 5–6%, although there are rumours that it could decrease to 3.60% by the end of the year if the RBA’s magic keeps working.
Fixed Rates: Starting at 4.94% for 1–5 years, these rates are consistent, which is great for people who like things to be predictable.
Your Unique Rhythm: Your loan-to-value ratio (LVR), which should be 60% or below, your deposit size, and your credit score all affect your rates.
After the RBA decrease, lenders including Macquarie and Bendigo are changing their offers. Check out with our brokers at Sri Finance to set up the best offer for you.
