Rate rise a blow for homeowners
After 12 rate rises across 13 RBA rate decisions, Australian borrowers were used to seeing their mortgage repayments rise. But after a 4 month reprieve and only 7 weeks before Christmas, this month’s rate rise seemed to hurt more than most.
The RBA has retaliated against inflation, which is not slowing as fast as they would like. However, 30% of households are already in mortgage stress and another 25 basis points on top of their mortgage is going to put borrowers in a worse situation.
Despite the lowest investor rate on Finder being 6.04%*, RBA figures show the average variable investor loan interest rate is at an average of 6.49%.
On the average outstanding home loan amount in Australia, if you switched from that higher rate to Finder’s lowest rate, you could save $203 each month.
*rates correct as of 13 November 2023.
