Mortgage Rates Daily Commentary

Rate conundrum lies ahead

It's interesting times with mortgage rates. About half of all mortgages will reprice over the next six months and advisers will have a key role to play in helping customers. What makes it more challenging is that most of the post OCR cuts yesterday were to floating rates with only a few moving fixed rates lower.

And to add to the challenge, two-year swap rate rose 2 basis points yesterday. The longer term rates are driven by what's happening in the United States and there are fears tariffs will fuel inflation. 

Here are some interesting tables.

In the two year fixed rate you can see how many lenders changed rates and one has moved to a sub-5% level. See the table here

Meanwhile, this table shows how many lenders moved floating rates. The smaller banks have, in general, taken the more competitive positions. Have a look here.

Christmas comes early for RESIMAC brokers

Non-bank lender, RESIMAC Home Loans, is paying mortgage advisers an additional 20 basis points of upfront commission on selected products in the lead up to Christmas.

Tuesday, September 23rd 2014, 9:43AM

The “Christmas Settlement Bonus” will apply to loans that settle from between September 22 and December 24. This includes all pipeline applications that have already been submitted to the lender and are yet to settle.

The promotion applies to all RESIMAC Specialist products and its Prime Low Doc product. “We hope this initiative will encourage our advisers to ensure they convert their current pipeline deals into settlements and look for new opportunities to find customers that need a flexible home loan solution," RESIMAC general manager Adrienne Church says.

With the additional 0.2% upfront commission bonus, advisers will now have the opportunity to earn 0.8% upfront commission on Prime Low Doc loans and a 1% upfront on all Specialist loans that settle before Christmas.

“By offering lending solutions to clients who don’t fit into the mainstream space, an adviser can bolster their volumes, increase their bottom line and enter long‑standing relationships with new clients. RESIMAC have always offered competitive upfront commissions and are still one of the few lenders who pay trail. This promotion further highlights our commitment to provide value to the third party distribution network,” Church said.
