The average home loan in Australia is $611,158.<\/p>\n<p>RBA Governor Philip Lowe made it clear more rate rises were likely but offered no specific clues as to how often or by how much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Board expects to take further steps in the process of normalising monetary conditions over the months ahead, but it is not on a pre-set path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe size and timing of future interest rate increases will be guided by the incoming data and the Board&#8217;s assessment of the outlook for inflation and the labour market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Board is committed to doing what is necessary to ensure that inflation in Australia returns to target over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pain aplenty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder said rising interest rates, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apimagazine.com.au\/news\/article\/soaring-inflation-offers-no-reprieve-to-mortgage-holders\" target=\"_blank\">soaring inflation<\/a>, energy prices and the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apimagazine.com.au\/news\/article\/great-australian-property-dream-being-put-to-sleep\" target=\"_blank\">general cost of living<\/a> are already squeezing household budgets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis latest hike could cost the average mortgage holder a whopping $7,300 extra per year compared to what they were paying in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith almost a quarter of Australian homeowners already <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apimagazine.com.au\/news\/article\/mortgage-stress-sector-optimism-borrower-confusion-amid-interest-rate-rises\" target=\"_blank\">struggling to pay their mortgage<\/a> in July, this news will be especially painful,\u201d Cooke said.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 1 in 5 Australian mortgage holders (18%) have refinanced their home loan in the past six months, according to a Finder survey of homeowners in July 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The same proportion (18%) say they plan to do so in the coming six months.<\/p>\n<p>Even as the RBA hikes rates rapidly, household spending in May still increased 7.9 per cent compared to 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, three out of four experts believe the recent cash rate hikes will be enough to rein in household spending and decrease inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Leanne Pilkington of Laing+Simmons said the measures were already impacting sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRate hikes are dampening the property market, and it\u2019s reasonable to believe increased mortgage repayments for a large number of Australians will affect spending over time, with a reduction in spending already being seen,\u201d Pilkington said.<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Wood of stockbrokers Ord Minnett noted, \u201cRate rises will absorb the elevated saving rate, reverse the wealth effect (lower home prices) and cap the amount of excess saving spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The amount the average Australian has stashed in savings is creeping up, according to Finder\u2019s Consumer Sentiment tracker.<\/p>\n<p>In June and July, the average Aussie had $36,446 tucked away.
