The RBA\u2019s historic recent rate cut could force the hand of many potential buyers, with early signs already showing an uptake in demand for property.<\/p>\n

The Reserve Bank of Australia governor Phillip Lowe does not expect buying to become excessive in the housing market following the board\u2019s Cup Day cash rate cut to the historic low of 0.1 per cent.<\/p>\n

\n

In the past he would have worried lower interest rates would encourage people to borrow more and push up housing prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to have to watch that carefully, but I think the dynamics of the housing market has changed,\u201d Lowe said. \u201cPopulation growth is slower, investors are seeing rents fall at the fastest rate that we have ever seen, the vacancy rate is quite high.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo at the moment I\u2019m not particularly worried about causing excesses in the housing market,\u201d adding his main worry was jobs.<\/p>\n

But there is early anecdotal evidence coming through from auctions, especially across Sydney, suggesting otherwise.<\/p>\n
