What Rising Interest Rates Mean For Landlords
As a landlord, staying informed on economic trends that may impact your investments is crucial. One headline that has been consistent lately is the rise in interest rates.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) increased the cash rate a further 25 basis points at its February meeting, bringing the cash rate to an 11-year high of 3.35 per cent.

In this blog post, we’ll explore what rising interest rates mean for landlords and how Housemark can assist in navigating this shift.
Understanding Interest Rates
Interest rates refer to the cost of borrowing money, typically set by central banks. When interest rates rise, borrowing becomes more expensive, potentially affecting various markets, including real estate.
Impact on Landlords
Rising interest rates can lead to higher mortgage payments for landlords, impacting their bottom line. Higher mortgage payments can also make it more challenging for tenants to afford rent, potentially leading to vacancy or delayed rental payments.
