Cheap money, cheap houses

Friday 30th January

Hi

The Reserve Bank's 150 basis point cut to the official cash rate is indeed good news for the property market. Home loan rates are tumbling and all lenders, according to this table, pretty much have rates starting with a five. (Those who don't are sure to have them soon).

While lenders have been criticised for not passing on the full 150 basis point cut straight away I suspect as competition mounts they will be forced to push rates even lower.

It is clear that the margins banks are making on their home loan business are the fattest they have been for some time, but you have to remember their volumes of business are way down on previous years.

Warm regards
