With the latest inflation reading and new bank forecasts, the property market is facing a fresh dose of uncertainty, but not every borrower is hitting the brakes. On this week's Broker Daily Uncut, Julian Barnes is joined by Finni's Costa Arvanitopoulos and Eva Loisance to unpack the latest rate-rise forecasts, softer auction activity, and what renewed speculation about another RBA hike could mean for borrower confidence. The conversation looks at how investors, first home buyers, and owner-occupier upgraders are responding differently, with some borrowers still seeing opportunities despite the uncertainty. The team also dives into younger Australians facing the prospect of retiring with a mortgage, the role of superannuation, and the great wealth transfer, before turning to reverse mortgages and the latest lender policy changes around SMSF refinancing and alt-doc loans.
