‘It’s better to stick with variable rates’

Hi Property Lovers


I came across this article on Australian Property Investor which was a good read.


There's a "massive" gap between variable and fixed rate home loans, according to an Australian mortgage broker.

Dean Rushton, chief operating officer of Loan Market Group, says banks need to justify the differential between the two rates.

Following the recent cash rate rise from three per cent to 3.25 per cent, many people are now looking at whether it's worth fixing their interest rates.

Rushton says they've experienced a 30 per cent increase in enquiries from homeowners about locking in fixed rate loans.

But he says most people were choosing to stick with variable rates because they have such a long way to go before reaching the fixed rates currently on offer from the major lenders.

"Given where fixed rates are at the moment, we have estimated that variable rates would have to increase by around three per cent over the next two years for a fixed rate to be worth considering."

"We have had a lot of people making enquiries about fixing but once you do the sums it becomes very difficult to justify."

"If you lock in now you could be paying around 7.5 per cent for the next three years or as much as eight per cent for five years."

"As variable rates are in the low to mid five per cent range, it's just not worth fixing."

Variable rates are influenced by the Reserve Bank of Australia while fixed rate pricing is driven by those who invest in the fixed rate wholesale markets.

What's The Outlook For Interest Rates?

Hi Property Lovers

I'm sure this subject is on the mind of every home owner with a mortgage! I came across this article on Australian Property Investor that gives some opinions in what may happen.

Australians should prepare for a series of 25 percentage point interest rate rises to take the official cash rate to four per cent much faster than many economists had expected.

That’s Macquarie Bank interest rate strategist Rory Robertson’s interpretation of a speech Reserve Bank (RBA) Governor Glenn Stevens gave yesterday.

Stevens says the risks of “really serious economic weakness have abated” and the RBA’s concern is now “how to configure monetary policy for the recovery”.

“If we were prepared to cut rates rapidly, to a very low level, in response to a threat but then were too timid to lessen that stimulus in a timely way when the threat had passed, we would have a bias in our monetary policy framework,” Stevens says.

“None of this is to say that the economy is, at this moment, ‘too strong’. It isn’t. The point is, rather, that the very low interest rate settings were designed for a weaker economy than we are in fact facing. Plainly, the downside risks to which the board was responding earlier have not materialised.

“This isn’t a problem. In fact, it’s a very desirable situation… It’s simply something we need to recognise in setting monetary policy, which means not holding interest rates at very low levels when that’s no longer needed.”

Robertson says Stevens’ remarks “convey to me a sense that the RBA will choose to hike in 25 basis point lots at each of its next three meetings, getting the cash rate to four per cent much faster than many of us suspected”.

“With global markets continuing to do well, reinforcing economic recoveries everywhere, the risk is growing that the RBA’s February hike – coming after its two-month summer break – may be the first of several 50-pointers in 2010.

“The stronger Australian dollar will hold the RBA back, but perhaps not by as much as earlier thought.

“As observed previously, further good news on the economy will be bad news for interest rates. In particular, if the downtrend in full-time employment continues to stabilise and then reverse, we can expect the RBA over an extended period to move through its various policy settings, from “emergency” – three per cent – towards “easy” – four per cent – and then “neutral” – five per cent of so.

“Restrictive” – six per cent plus – will come much later on if things go really well over coming years.”

Editor of Australian Property Investor magazine, Eynas Brodie, says the anticipated increases to interest rates over the coming year should not be cause for panic.

“The hype surrounding rising interest rates needs to be kept in proper perspective,” she says. “As the economy returns to normal, so too must the interest rates setting.”

Having said that, she warns borrowers to act now if they’re concerned about their ability to make repayments on a higher variable rate.

“Nobody will be able to say in a few months or a year from now that they didn’t know rates were going to go up,” she adds.

September Report

Hi Property Lovers

Well spring is finally here, the sun is out, the weather is warming and the Nedlands property market keeps on moving and moving!!! September was a great month for the area with 16 sales with a total value of $20, 792,500.

Dalkeith also had a great month as well with 16 sales with a total value of $27.772,500.

This is a great result as traditionally the end of September to the start of October is quiet as majority of the Western Suburbs are away with school holidays. What you would have noticed and over the next coming weeks is that a lot of new properties will be coming onto the market for the traditionally busier time from now until Christmas.

I personally think there really is not a better time to buy, even with last weeks 25 basis point rise the interest rate is still the lowest it has been in 40 years, and i doubt we will be getting to the interest rate level seen back in the beginning of 2008 for a while! Property prices have also came back over the last year, with many great buys out there, but with out a doubt prices will start to rise again (prices have dropped 20% from 2007 peak prices, though have risen around 5% over the last 2 months in the Western Suburbs).

If you are thinking of making a move, please call me anytime for a confidential discussion for a customised strategy to suit your needs.
