Rising interest rates don’t automatically mean the market will come to a halt. It has been a long time since we had an interest rate hike, and it’s quite a shock. However, you do have to wonder what it means for renovators.

Rising interest rates can be devastating. But, like most things, it depends on how you view it. So, in this episode of She Renovates, Bernadette brings some perspective to the current situation and gives you tips on how to responsibly continue your renovating for-profit journey.

Considering the world is dealing with the war in Ukraine and rising petrol and food prices, the latest increase in the interest rate has had surprisingly little impact on the market. Listen as Bernadette talks you through how to keep an open mind in fluctuating markets and how to find opportunities in troubling times.
