What changed today?
-
-
The RBA reduced the cash rate to 3.60% at its 12 August meeting. The statement cites easing inflation and the need to support a softening economy.
-
It’s the third rate cut this year (after February and May).
-
Major outlets and analysts note the Bank could cut again if inflation continues to moderate.

Why sellers might benefit
Property sellers:
Lower rates often lift buyer sentiment and borrowing capacity, which can increase enquiry, inspections and bidding depth—especially heading into spring.
Business sellers:
Cheaper debt makes acquisition finance more accessible, potentially widening your buyer pool and supporting valuations for well-presented businesses. (Market reactions today underscore renewed risk appetite.)
How to capitalise now
-
Be early to market. Listing now helps you ride the first wave of renewed buyer activity before competition ramps up.
-
Nail presentation. Tidy maintenance, great photos, and a clear value proposition (or IM for businesses) accelerate enquiries.
-
Price with precision. Use up-to-date comps and be guided by real enquiry feedback as the market re-prices.
-
Remove friction. Have documents ready: property reports, contracts, or business financials and key KPIs.
