The news comes as concerns continue to mount that Australia’s record-low cash rate is fuelling an already overheated property market.

Loan Market chairman Sam White said this week's RBA rate cut could accelerate the introduction of stronger macroprudential measures in a bid to slow down the Sydney property market.

“[The] rate cut is a good sign for Australian business and for the Aussie dollar and our exporters becoming more competitive; however, we can’t ignore its impact on the property markets – particularly Sydney,” Mr White said.

Meanwhile, Laing+Simmons general manager Leanne Pilkington said Australian real estate “in no way needed another interest rate cut” since the market is already “red hot”.

“The RBA would have been wise not to pour further fuel on Sydney’s property fire,” Ms Pilkington said.
