📈 THE OFFICIAL CASH RATE HAS RISEN TO 2.50%

Today the Reserve Bank raised the OCR by 25 basis points. This is the first increase since April 2023, following three consecutive holds.

Falling oil prices have eased some near-term inflation pressure, but the Reserve Bank is signalling that further increases may still be on the horizon.

🏡 Ever wondered what a "Residents' Association" actually is?

If you're looking at townhouses, you've probably seen this term pop up, so let's break it down simply.

When you buy a freehold townhouse, you own your land and your home outright. But because things like shared driveways, berms, gardens, and bicycle storage benefit everyone, a Residents' Association is set up to look after them.

Think of it like a lighter, more affordable version of a body corporate designed specifically for freehold communities.

✅ Each owner is a member
✅ A small annual levy covers shared insurance, maintenance, and upkeep
✅ Decisions are made together at an annual meeting
✅ It keeps the whole neighbourhood looking great, which protects your property value long-term

It's one of those behind-the-scenes details that makes a real difference to how enjoyable (and stress-free) townhouse living can be. 🙌

Got questions about how this works for one of our developments? Flick us a message! We're happy to explain.
