To get the ball rolling in 2023,
data nerds Arjun Paliwal and Leigh Paliwal dissect the biggest
trends in finance, policy and real estate to help investors charge
ahead into the new year. Arjun, founder of InvestorKit, and Leigh,
director at Hills Finance, debunk the gloomy narrative around the
“mortgage cliff” and “mortgage prison” borrowers are said to face
this year before enumerating the strategic ways borrowers can avoid
finding themselves on the edge of this financial conundrum.
They discuss the latest lending data, analyse why refinancing is
becoming the new norm among mortgage holders and explain why it
might be time to reevaluate your loan. The pair also touches on the
latest inflation data and unpack what it means for the trajectory
of the Reserve Bank’s rate hike this year.
Finally, they talk about the newly rolled out NSW
First Home Buyer Choice scheme and pore over the pros and
cons of the policy.
