Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!Number one on today's agenda is the Reserve Bank's monetary policy statement and the implications of the unchanged official cash rate. We break down the jargon and sift through layers of GDP, labour market, house prices, and inflation projections, leaving no stone unturned. We also reveal the potential for a rate rise and the nitty-gritty of the decision-making process. Moreover, we plunge headfirst into July's property market report, dissecting the role of first-home buyers, the 'wait and see' approach of investors, and the patchy nature of the market.Particular focus is given into the impact of deductibility on property investment and housing affordability with Kelvin working through an in-depth example. Additionally, we cast a spotlight on regional variations in house prices and their influence on affordability. Lastly we also preview the mortgage lending figures for July and the potential after-effects of the Reserve Bank's loosening of the LVRs on investors and first home buyers.
