Now is the time to build

We’ve all been watching the Official Cash Rate (OCR) move up and down over the past year, many are waiting for “the perfect time” to start their build, hoping for more certainty, better lending conditions, or lower interest rates. But we believe that fluctuation is the new normal, and those who act now are often the ones who secure the greatest long-term advantages.

At eHaus, we’re seeing a trend. People are realising that despite short-term economic uncertainty, building a high-performance home today sets you up for resilience tomorrow.

OCR fluctuations are temporary. A healthy home is forever:

The OCR will continue to shift in response to global and national pressures. But the home you build (its comfort, its energy efficiency, its low running costs) lasts for decades.

eHaus homes consistently deliver lower energy bills, healthier indoor environments, and outstanding thermal performance, regardless of what the Reserve Bank is doing.

Lock in certainty where it counts:

While the OCR changes affect lending rates, you can lock in other parts of the process with an eHaus ie: guaranteed performance outcomes and predictable energy costs once you move in. These create stability in an otherwise unstable environment. Many of our clients have told us that this security is invaluable to them.

Build costs have stabilised:

After a turbulent few years, material availability and supply chains have largely normalised, and many trades have returned to scheduling reliability. This means fewer surprises and delays, a strong incentive for those ready to move ahead.

Delaying incur costs:

Waiting for “better rates” or the “perfect time” can sound reasonable but here’s what often happens if you wait:

• Construction costs rise
• Land values increase
• Lending criteria tightens
• Your current home continues to cost you more for running costs

In contrast, starting now means you get ahead of future changes and secure today’s pricing and availability.

You will thank yourself down the track:

Imagine stepping into a home that’s sustainable, naturally comfy, and healthy. A home that costs a fraction to run compared to a standard build. A home that looks after the planet and the occupants.

That’s what eHaus delivers. And that’s why choosing to build now, even in a fluctuating OCR environment, is a decision based on long-term wellbeing and financial sense.
