Lenders cut fixed rates: guide to the lowest rate home loan offerings fixed and variable as of October 30
Lenders continue to cut their fixed-rate home loans as anticipation builds that the RBA may cut the cash rate to 3% on Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday.
Yesterday Credit Union Australia (CUA), the nation’s biggest customer-owned lender, dropped its one, two and three-year fixed rate home loans to 5.3% following moves by other lenders throughout the month.
Mozo product data manager Peter Marshall told Property Observer earlier this month that fixed rates “still have some way to fall” and have not matched the falls in variable rates since the RBA starting cutting the cash rate in November last year.
This follows Community First Credit Union and Greater Building Society both offering one-year fixed rate home loans at 4.99%.
The following results are based on advertised mortgage rates listed by ratecity.com.au, Mozo.com.au and infochoice.com.au as of October 30:
