Hello,

History is in the making as home loan rates are cut to record lows. Its an exciting time to be involved in home ownership, as we see the benefits it brings to buyers, investors and home owners alike.

We start the newsletter by looking at how low interest rates are expected to go, followed by an article on why refinancing your mortgage can save you thousands.

Our third article reviews property market trends and what this means for your prospects to buy or sell.

Lastly we look at the latest craze of online social networking: is it value or hype?

Enjoy this newsletter and feel free to pass it on to family and friends.
