Further easing in fixed interest rates

A survey of mortgage rates shows floating ones rising and fixed ones falling.

Monday, July 15th 2002, 9:39PM

Two to five year fixed interest rates eased in the month to July 10, according to the Real Estate Institute Mortgage Interest Rate Survey.

Ten of the 16 lending institutions lowered three to five year rates by 0.20 to 0.26%, while seven institutions decreased their two year fixed rate by 0.05% to 0.20%. Floating rates continued their upward trend, with five institutions raising their floating rates by 0.24% – 0.25%, to now range between 7.35% and 8.00%, compared to the 7.35% and 7.75% range as at June 10.

"While floating rates continue to firm, the easing of long term fixed rates, particularly by the trading banks, offer good opportunities for those homeowners seeking reasonable longer term loan agreements," REINZ President Rex Handley says.

"The world economy recovered remarkably well from a feared global recession, and as a result the Reserve Bank had begun to tighten its monetary policy, but that recovery has been marred by recent events in the USA, for example the Enron and World Com scandals. The Institute believes that lending institutions are now reassessing their analysis of the Official Cash Rate over the next 12 to 18 months and it is now likely that the Reserve Bank will not raise the Official Cash Rate as steeply or quickly as previously thought, and this is reflected in the current interest rate trends."

As of July 10, one year fixed rates range between 6.85% and 7.6%, compared with 7.30% and 7.85% to June 10; two year rates range between 7.40% and 7.90% compared to 7.80% and 8.10% last month; three year fixed rates range between 7.0% to 8.20%, compared to 7.95% to 8.20% last month; while four and five year rates range between 7.95% to 8.45%, compared to 8.29% to 8.45% last month.
