The Pennisi Real Estate team has approximately 100 members who will all be doing their best to support the cause of Cancer Research while enjoying themselves at the same time.

I am pleased to advise that our team has the support of three marathon runners sponsored by Altitude Communications from Essendon Fields. They will be running for one hour from 10 a.m. Saturday and expect to complete a combined total of about 112 laps. Altitude Communications have generously agreed to sponsor the runners to the tune of $6 per lap up to 112 laps and $7.50 for any extra laps. I have decided that I will also sponsor the runners to the tune of $1 per lap up to 112 and then $2 for any extra laps.

We encourage everyone to consider sponsoring the runners. It can be an amount per lap or a straight out donation. Please advise me at sam@pennisi.com.au if you are wishing to sponsor. I thank the runners and Altitude Communications for their support.

Its not too late to register if you want to be part of the fun. Email me at sam@pennisi.com.au if you want to participate.

The Moonee Valley Relay For Life event is organised by a local volunteer organising committee on behalf of the Cancer Council.

Why do we Relay?
Every five minutes, another Australian is diagnosed with cancer. While survival rates are improving every day, cancer remains a leading cause of death. That’s why it’s so important that we raise funds to fight cancer. Every dollar raised at Relay For Life helps the Cancer Council to:
Investigate new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancers
Educate people in your community about ways they can reduce their cancer risk
Advocate for cancer control and influence government policy
Support people during their times of greatest need.

Who can participate?
Everybody in the Moonee Valley community can get involved.
There are no age limitations or fitness requirements – Relay For Life is suitable for everyone, and anyone can join in the fun! We would love to have you on our team If you want to join us please contact Sam Pennisi on 9379 5616

Many economists had bet the Reserve Bank would cut rates by 0.25 per cent due to worries about the economic situation in Europe. However, rates will remain at 4.25 per cent.

“Today’s decision leaves the gate open for the Reserve Bank to cut rates should the situation in Europe sour,” says Domain property expert Carolyn Boyd. The move follows back-to-back rate cuts in November and December last year.

Each 0.25 per cent drop in interest rates slices about $60 off the monthly interest cost of an average Australian mortgage.

Boyd says although rates have remained on hold today, mortgage holders might still be able to win themselves a rate cut by shopping around for a better deal from lenders. Some lenders are offering more than 0.9 per cent off their standard variable rate for borrowers who ask.

“Keep in mind what it might cost you to switch though,” Boyd says. “While borrowers with new loans may no longer be liable for early exit fees (also called delayed establishment fees), people who took out their loan before July 1 last year could still be charged an exit fee by their lender. The ban on exit fees only applies to loans taken out since July 1, 2011. There are also other costs associated with refinancing such as government charges to discharge and register a mortgage.”

However, securing a cheaper rate cut from another institution may mean you can recoup the amount you have to spend to refinance quite quickly, or you may be able to use the cheaper offer to negotiate a better deal with your existing lender.
