Navigating the financial landscape in 2023 was characterised by many twists and turns, needing a strategic and discerning approach.

The welcome decision to defer the last rate rise of the year reflected a cautiously optimistic response to the delicate balance required for sustaining economic growth while addressing inflationary concerns. It's very early days, but so far the financial atmosphere for 2024 continues to be marked by resilience and adaptability as it was in 2023.

As we reflect on 2023 we think of some pivotal moments for us - AAA celebrated 35 years in business, founder John Macalyk was inducted into the MFAA Hall of Fame, we welcomed new team members, featured in the media, and received a number of nominations for both our brokers and our business.

It was a big year, with many learnings and pivots along the way as we navigated one of the most challenging years in finance we've experienced. The landscape may have been unpredictable at times, but it was also been transformative, allowing us to become more adept and agile within the ever-evolving realm of finance.

We're so excited to take these learnings into 2024, where we plan build our relationships with new and existing clients by continuing to deliver the same exceptional customer service that we are known for.

AAA are here to help our clients navigate changing rates and financial circumstances. 

Throughout last year, Sydney's property market continually defied expectations, generating considerable excitement within the industry.

Unexpectedly robust growth, marked by significant surges in property prices that not only captured the attention of investors, home buyers, and industry experts, challenged and reshaped conventional expectations. The market's resilience against external economic shifts and 13 interest rate increases led to unexpected developments.

As the dynamic interplay of demand, supply, and economic factors continued to shape Sydney's property market, we worked hard to navigate this evolving landscape by upskilling, learning, and making sure we were across every possible corner of the mortgage market. And we will continue to do so in the year to come!

With no signs of slowing down, AAA Mortgages is poised for a big 2024.

At AAA Mortgages we've seen a significant increase in the number of bridging loans being done for our clients, and there's good reason.

Considering a bridging loan could be a savvy move to alleviate mortgage stress. Whether you're transitioning between properties (including downsizers, dealing with settlement dates, or navigating the complexities of buying and selling, a bridging loan offers a strategic solution. 

This can apply to both residential and commercial securities and particularly helpful if you are moving premises, to allow time to move stock or inventory. A bridging loan has no monthly repayment, the interest is capitalised in the loan amount, reducing the stress of a move!
