Mortgage Rates Commentary 30 August 2010

Mortgage Rates

ANZ and National Bank made some last minute changes at the end of last week and are continuing to cut long-term rates.

ANZ has dropped its two-year rate by 9 bps, its three-year rate dropped 5 points and its four and five-year rates fell 15 and 5 points respecitvely. These latest rate changes have come in after the release of its June quarter general disclosure statements, which show a slide in its share of the mortgage market.

National Bank cut 6 points off its two-year rate, 5 points off its three-year rate and 10 and 9 off its four and five-year rates respectively.
