1 in 4 in Mortgage Stress during April according to https://www.brokernews.com.au/

Australian homeowners are finally catching a break. After a punishing period of high interest rates and cost-of-living pressures, mortgage stress across the country may be starting to ease. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has delivered two successive rate cuts in recent months, sparking cautious optimism among economists and households alike.

The Current Landscape

Mortgage stress—typically defined as households spending more than 30% of their income on home loan repayments—has gripped many Australian borrowers, particularly those who purchased during the housing boom at ultra-low rates. According to Roy Morgan (2025), as of April 2025, 1.48 million mortgage holders were considered "at risk". That figure represented 28.4% of all mortgage holders.

But there’s hope on the horizon.

The recent interest rate rise by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to 4.35% has evoked a range of reactions from the financial sector and the public. The Australian Financial Review reported a dip in the Australian dollar and bond yields following the RBA's move, which was deemed 'reluctant' by some market analysts. The language used by the RBA suggested a softer stance on future rate increases, which caught markets by surprise, leading to a significant reduction in the likelihood of further rate hikes in the near term. This shift in expectations suggests a wait-and-see approach from the RBA, focusing on upcoming economic data, particularly on inflation trends.

The New Daily highlighted the impact on mortgage holders, indicating an additional financial burden due to the rate hike. This decision ended a four-month pause in rate increases and was driven by persistent inflation concerns. Economists had anticipated the hike following recent higher-than-forecast Consumer Price Index data, raising questions about the RBA's ability to bring inflation down to its target range by late 2025. There is also a public concern about the impact on households, with reports of increasing mortgage stress and the potential for even more rate hikes, possibly as soon as December https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/finance-news/2023/11/07/interest-rates-november-2023-2.

Livewire Markets focused on the broader economic implications and the RBA's future policy trajectory. It noted that while the latest rate hike was anticipated, the market had already priced in a long-term hold on interest rates, reflecting skepticism about further increases. The RBA's statement acknowledged that inflation remains too high, yet it also suggested that future policy tightening would be data-dependent, leaving investors uncertain about the direction of future rate movements. This "dovish hike" led to a relief rally in the equities market. Experts are divided, with some suggesting that the RBA may not have the patience to wait until the end of 2025 to achieve its inflation targets, indicating the possibility of further rate hikes if inflation does not come under control https://www.livewiremarkets.com/wires/the-rba-hikes-interest-rates-again-but-will-this-be-the-last-one

Overall, the reaction has been mixed, with a combination of surprise at the RBA's dovish tone, concerns about the impact on households, and uncertainty about the future path of monetary policy.
