It's looking like the Reserve Bank will remain content to sit on its hands for the duration of the year, with another rate hold this week. In spite of this, the home loan market has been far from static. Last month, 14 lenders in the finder.com.au database changed their rates. The steepest hike was 40 basis points, while the deepest cut was 30 basis points.
Moves like these could make a big difference to your monthly repayments. On a 30-year home loan of $500,000 at 4.5%, a 40 basis point hike would leave you $120.20 per month worse off, while a 30 basis point cut would save you $88.34 per month. Those savings might not sound like much, but they amount to $31,802.65 in interest payments over the life of your loan.
Check out our tables below to see which lenders have moved on rates. If your lender has raised rates, you might be able to find a better deal.
