No one is immune to the confusion that can come with refinancing your home loan – not even a chief economist. Dr Diaswati “Asti” Mardiasmo, the chief economist at PRD Real Estate, sits down with SPI’s Grace Ormsby to chat through her own experience refinancing her own mortgage – and the tips and tricks she picked up along the way. Reflecting on the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to keep the cash rate at 4.35 per cent, Asti also uses her professional knowledge to share what it means for property markets the country over, before flagging some of the locations across Australia offering would-be buyers the most affordable entry points for property with solid fundamentals.
