The RBA's decision to hold rates would provide continued stability for borrowers and homeowners. Recent rate hikes have already impacted the property market, influencing demand and borrowing capacity.

A stable cash rate could offer some certainty for buyers and investors in Melbourne's western growth corridor, potentially boosting confidence. However, the cumulative effect of previous hikes will continue to influence affordability and loan serviceability.
