From first home buyers to property investors and everything in between, every morning on The Real Estate Podcast. Let's Talk Commercial, a podcast series with Scott O'Neill. Well, another cash rate rise by 50 basis points to 1.35% by the RBA on Tuesday.
It also increased the interest rate on the exchange settlement balances by 50 basis points, also to 1.25%. Now, we were expecting this, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow, particularly for first-home buyers, especially who have borrowed very heavy to acquire that first home. In the commercial property space, some people... have decided to cash out of some of their residential portfolios if they've got a big enough one to move into the commercial sector. Let's welcome in Scott O'Neill because it is a Thursday from Rethink Investing and good morning Scott, welcome back. Good morning Craig, good to be back. You are coming to us this morning from Greece. What are you doing there? Back in 2019, we bought a house in Greece.
My wife's half Greek, so she grew up on an island over there, so we decided to buy a house. We normally spend about three months a year on average over here, so we want to at least enjoy a bit of time off while we can, and this is a way of doing it. How does the tourism side of it feel right now in terms of, because, you know, Greece is such a hotspot for tourism. What's the vibe like at the moment? I think you've been there for, what, nearly two weeks? Yeah, yeah, and I've never seen it busier. So there's obviously some pent-up demand from tourists that haven't been able to travel for a few years. Things are looking good in Europe. That's just a sign of people wanting to travel after being locked up for so long, no doubt.
Oh, sounds good. OK, well, as mentioned, another cash rate rise by 50 basis points to 1.35% on Tuesday. It's expected, but it's still a shock for a lot of people. And I thought that it's probably worthwhile and timely just to look at how bank loan increases will affect the commercial sector. Yeah, good question, Craig. Like you said, there's nothing really surprising with what's happening other than it's happening a bit quicker and harder than we thought.
