What your equity can do for you

If you’ve owned your home or investment property for a few years, chances are you’ve built up equity, and that could be one of your most valuable financial tools.

Equity is the difference between your property's value and what you owe on the loan, and right now, many Australians are tapping into it to achieve their next big goals.

Here’s how accessing equity could work for you:

Invest in property: Use your existing home’s equity as a deposit for a second property and grow your portfolio without saving from scratch.

Renovate or upgrade: Want a new kitchen or an outdoor space for summer? Equity can fund home improvements that also boost your property’s value.

Consolidate debt: Equity can be used to refinance higher-interest debts into one manageable home loan.

Speak to a broker who can help you compare your options and ensure it’s the right strategy for your financial goals.

Queensland’s commercial market is poised for long-term growth

Queensland’s commercial property market is entering a new growth phase, with a combination of population gains, infrastructure spending, and sector diversification setting the stage for sustained investor interest, according to new research from JLL.

Brisbane has emerged as Australia’s most stable CBD office market, with low volatility in vacancy rates and a 12% rise in white-collar employment over the past decade. Key sectors like healthcare, finance, and education are fuelling this growth.

Retail is also strengthening, with Queensland leading the country in shopping centre turnover growth. But demand is now outstripping supply. JLL says the state needs 2.6 times more retail space than is currently planned over the next five years.

Meanwhile, infrastructure investment is high. Queensland is investing 5.7% of GSP annually, well above NSW and Victoria, driving industrial and logistics activity and creating further momentum.

Sydney’s premium office shortage set to drive rents higher

Sydney’s CBD is on the verge of a premium office space crunch, with new research from Knight Frank forecasting significant rental growth due to a looming supply shortage.

According to the report, just three major CBD projects delivering over 25,000 sqm are due for completion by 2029, with 65% of that space already pre-leased. That leaves only 57,000 sqm, roughly 1% of total market stock, available for lease through to 2027.

With no additional developments currently scheduled for 2028-29, Knight Frank says the market is heading toward a significant imbalance between supply and demand leading to higher rents.

Premium-grade space has remained in high demand, with recent developments achieving a 90% average commitment rate. Since 2020, premium stock has recorded net absorption of nearly 280,000 sqm, while all other grades have seen negative growth.

Occupiers looking to secure top-tier office space in Sydney’s CBD between now and 2028 are being urged to act fast or risk missing out on the best assets.

Is a balloon payment worth it?

When financing equipment or a business vehicle, you might be offered a balloon payment. It’s a lump sum due at the end of your loan term, and it can significantly reduce your monthly repayments.
However, there are some pros and cons to be aware of.
Pros:
● Lower monthly repayments

● Better cash flow management

● Flexible end-of-term options (refinance, upgrade, pay outright)

Risks:
● Large lump sum due at the end

● May impact your ability to refinance

● Asset may not hold value over time

For more information and to compare your options, speak to a finance broker today.

RBA UPDATE | Effective October 1, 2025

At its September meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) held the official cash rate at 3.60%, following cuts in February, May, and August. Major banks remain divided: CBA, Westpac and ANZ expect one more cut this year, while NAB forecasts no change until mid-2026.

Tanya Sale, CEO of outsource Financial, said: “The RBA’s decision to hold was not unexpected. Governor Michele Bullock has shown a cautious and data-dependent approach. It’s clear the Board is waiting for stronger signs that inflation is sustainably within target before moving again.”

Notably, regional Australia continues to attract city dwellers, with 26% more people relocating to the regions. The Sunshine Coast (QLD) leads migration, followed by Albury (NSW), East Pilbara (WA), and Greater Shepparton (VIC). Queensland now accounts for 31% of net regional migration.

Meanwhile, new research from Agile Market Intelligence has found that property sentiment is on the rise, and it’s being led by young women. Despite affordability challenges, women aged 18-34 are showing rising confidence about entering the property market, with a 5% increase in those planning to buy within 12 months. Financial readiness remains the biggest hurdle.

The RBA's next meeting will be announced on Tuesday, November 4.

How to finance tech and IT equipment

Keeping your business tech up to date doesn’t have to mean a big hit to your cash flow.

From laptops and servers to point-of-sale systems and software, tech is an essential part of business operations, but it often needs replacing faster than other assets. That’s where equipment finance can help.

Financing your tech allows you to spread the cost over time while keeping your business running on the latest tools. Depending on your needs, you might opt for a chattel mortgage (where you own the equipment outright from day one), or an operating lease or rental agreement that gives you flexibility to upgrade at the end of the term.

Lenders understand that tech depreciates quickly, so the structure of the loan can be tailored to suit, with shorter terms and payments that align with your cash flow.

Whether you're scaling up, replacing outdated systems, or fitting out a new team, tech finance keeps your business agile without tying up capital. Before you buy, speak to a finance broker who can help you compare your options.

Why pre-approval matters for business finance

Getting pre-approved for business finance can be real strategic advantage.
Whether you're looking to purchase a new piece of equipment, a vehicle, or fit out your premises, having pre-approval in place signals to suppliers and sellers that you’re serious. It gives you a clear idea of your borrowing power, so you can negotiate with confidence and move quickly when opportunities arise.

Pre-approval puts you in a position to act fast, especially when buying second-hand equipment or assets that won’t stay on the market for long. It also helps you stay within budget, with repayments and loan terms already mapped out before you commit.

Just as importantly, it allows you to focus on value, not just price. Instead of scrambling to organise finance after finding the right asset, you’ll be able to assess whether it fits your business goals, and if the numbers stack up.
Start by talking to a finance broker and comparing your options.

Brisbane leads APAC in prime office rental growth

Brisbane continues to stand out as a commercial property performer, recording the highest prime office rental growth in the Asia-Pacific region, according to Knight Frank’s Q2 2025 Asia-Pacific Office Highlights report.

Driven by strong demand for premium-grade space and limited supply of top-tier assets, Brisbane posted a remarkable 14 per cent annual increase in prime office rents, outpacing cities like Seoul (8.2 per cent) and Bengaluru (7.9 per cent). It also saw quarterly growth of 3.2 per cent, ranking third in APAC for the quarter.

Among Australian cities, Perth followed with 4.2 per cent annual growth, then Melbourne (2.4 per cent) and Sydney (1.9 per cent). The data highlights a growing competition for high-quality office assets along the Eastern Seaboard and beyond.

Knight Frank forecasts that Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney will continue to see rental growth over the next 12 months, while Melbourne is expected to remain stable.

4 tips for trading in your car

Trading in your car can be a convenient option, but it’s important to know what you’re doing. Here are 4 things you should be doing before talking to a dealer.

1. Know your car’s value
Before you walk into a dealership, do your research. Use online tools to estimate your car’s market value based on make, model, year, mileage, and condition. This puts you in a strong position to negotiate a fair trade-in price.

2. Get your car trade-in ready
Presentation matters. Make sure your vehicle is clean, well-maintained, and free of minor defects. A quick visit to the mechanic for tune-ups or minor fixes can help increase your trade-in offer.

3. Shop around for offers
Don’t settle for the first quote. Visit multiple dealerships to compare deals. Having several offers also gives you leverage to negotiate a better outcome.

4. Review your finance options
Once you’ve agreed on a trade-in value, it’s time to focus on financing your next vehicle. While dealers may offer in-house finance, it’s worth comparing other lenders who might offer lower overall repayments and more flexible terms – rather than advertising a low interest rate. This is the time to be talking to a finance broker who can compare your options.

1 in 10 Aussies now millionaires, thanks to property

Australia’s property boom has helped push one in 10 Australians into millionaire territory, according to Swiss bank UBS’s 2025 Global Wealth Report.

In US dollar terms (about $1.55 million), 1.9 million Australians now qualify as millionaires — a number set to rise by 20 per cent by 2028. Much of this wealth is tied to real estate, with Aussie households collectively owning nearly $10.5 trillion in residential property.

UBS ranked Australia second globally for median wealth per person (US$268,000) and fifth for average wealth, beating out economic heavyweights like Germany, Japan and the UK.

What makes Australia’s millionaire class unique is how little of their wealth is held in cash. Just 10 per cent of total wealth sits in deposits, with more than half tied to property.

With house prices continuing to climb and equity playing a key role in wealth creation, now is the time to reassess your property goals. Whether you're planning to upgrade, invest or refinance, speaking to a mortgage broker can help you compare your options and find the best way to get into the property market based on your personal situation.

1 in 4 Aussies to invest in property

25 per cent of Australian households intend to invest in real estate over the next 12 months, more than any other asset class.

According to Agile Market Intelligence’s latest Consumer Pulse survey, which reveals that property remains the top pick for investors. In fact, younger Australians are driving this trend, with 40 per cent of those aged 18-34 planning to buy property.

Men are also more likely to invest than women, as confidence returns to the market on the back of falling interest rates.

Overall investment sentiment is cautious among older Australians, but property continues to offer both financial and emotional security, the survey found.

Signs of stabilisation in commercial property

Australia’s commercial property sector is showing early signs of recovery, with transaction volumes reaching $19.6 billion in the first half of 2025, a 19 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

While volumes in Q2 dipped slightly to $10.3 billion, the presence of nearly $10 billion in pending deals points to a stronger underlying market than headline figures suggest. According to MSCI’s latest Australia Capital Trends report, interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia have helped restore investor confidence, leading to renewed activity despite broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

Office assets are regaining attention, with Sydney leading the nation. Of the $3.2 billion deployed into Sydney’s office market year-to-date, 79 per cent originated from offshore investors, a sign of continued international confidence in Australia’s most established commercial hub.

The report also notes a strategic pivot in asset allocation with foreign capital gravitating towards offices and data centres, while domestic investors are increasingly active in the retail sector.

While short-term fluctuations remain, the medium-term outlook appears more positive.
