📚 What You Should Know

🎯 RBA's Goal

RBA targets inflation at 2-3%. When CPI exceeds this range, RBA may raise rates to 'cool' the economy.

Rate Pass-through

After RBA changes rates, banks typically adjust mortgage rates within 1-2 weeks. Variable rates are directly affected.

💡 3% Buffer Rule

Banks add 3% buffer to current rates when assessing borrowing capacity. This ensures you can handle future rate rises.

🔄 Fixed vs Variable

Fixed rates stay constant during the term but are usually higher. Your choice depends on rate expectations and risk tolerance.
