Interest Rates 2009
Interest rates in 2009 may remain at their current low levels, or they may start to rise again, depending upon the world economic climate and the Australian property markets.
Home loan interest rates have fallen consistantly since September 2008. While not always following the Reserve Bank moves, mortgage rates were cut nearly every time the RBA moved official rates downwards. The latest cut from the RBA was not passed on by the banks, but the majority of the previous cuts were.
There is mixed feelings over where rates will go now. Some economists believe the official rate will be cut further before the end of ths year. Others believe we may be at the bottom of the cycle already. The overwhelming feeling is that rates will remain low for some time though, either staying steady or rising by small increments.
Finding a low rate for your mortgage is much easier with a local mortgage broker. The rate you pay depends upon the type of home loan you choose, the benefits of the home loan and the terms of the loan.
So, a home loan with limited features will have a lower rate than one with lots of added benefits. It is a personal choice, and your local mortgage broker can help you find the right home loan.
