Market Update - Winter 2025

New (free) Plans tool, market update and new strategy that could save you thousands in interest costs in < 3 years

Surprise rate hold in July and what we might expect soon

Rates have come down and are expected to do so further.. maybe later in the year

Whilst we have seen 2 rate cuts and most expect another couple later this year there is uncertainty in the global market that may see economy contract which may in turn create the conditions where interest rates need to come down further, but concerns around stoking inflation persist which may mean they (central banks) can’t do this.. so it’s highly unclear where all this is going.This was clearly seen in the shock decision by the RBA to hold rates in July, pretty much no one called that!

As well as this, short term (2 - 3 year) fixed rates are sitting around 50bp (0.5%) below variable which has created the conditions for a 'fixed / variable' strategy we developed at UNO that could save you thousands, more on that strategy in this 1 min video.

Our guidance remains as always you should review if you financed/refinanced over 12 months ago and at least every 6 months generally.

Paul and the team at UNO Home Loans have been absolutely amazing, helpful and transparent during the process of purchasing our home. This team has made buying a house an absolute breeze. It has been a 9 year goal for my family and I to get back into the market and from the first zoom call with Paul all the way to settlement I have felt taken care of and at ease. I am so excited to be in our own home and am very grateful for how easy UNO made the experience. UNO offered great communication, clear instructions and got the job done. Thank you Paul and the UNO team. I will definitely be using these services again.

Working with Scott Wilkinson at UNO Home Loans was a genuine pleasure. We used Scott to refinance our home loan and to structure an investment property loan. Both experiences were excellent from start to finish. Scott provided high quality advice, quick turnaround times and sharp pricing outcomes. Nothing was too much trouble. I look forward to using Scott’s services again and highly recommend to others.

Scott and the entire team at UNO has been skilfully in helping and assisted with my complex property financing structure in a such short time frame to execute my first investment property. He has engineered a powerful strategy to accelerate my investment property purchase while ‘Optimising’ my financial position efficiently. I couldn’t be happier with experience. They made the whole process smooth and willing to go extra mile to get me best deal possible. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and professional broker.

If only we could leave 10 stars... We've worked with Scott Wilkinson from Uno on the purchase of our principal place of residence, as well as a recently completed investment property. Scott was excellent throughout the entire process. He's got great communication, works incredibly hard and did everything he could to negotiate us the best deal. As business owners, the investment property was particularly complex and tricky to navigate. Scott helped us from start to finish and ensured we could maximise our borrowing capacity as well as secure a competitive rate. We've got nothing but amazing things to say about the guy and would highly recommend him to anyone considering buying property.

Mike is incredibly responsive, proactive with follow-ups, and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. He takes on all the heavy lifting and explains things clearly every step of the way. A great communicator who genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Paul Davey from Uno enough. He went above and beyond to get my pre-approval sorted, even with my tricky circumstances. He guided me through the whole process right through to settlement day and made everything so easy and stress-free. If you need a mortgage broker who actually cares and knows their stuff, he’s the one to call! Epic Service!
