No changes, so what's the best rate?

Mortgage Rates

There continues to be very few changes to home loan rates at the moment. What's the best option currently?

Here's what Westpac said in today's economic update: "For borrowers with a deposit of 20% or more, the best value lies in the two-year rate or shorter terms. Three to five-year rates seem high relative to where we think short-term rates are going to go over that time. That said, these rates are most likely to be pressured higher by global market trends, so borrowers who prefer the security of a longer term still have a chance to lock in at historically quite low levels."

Here is the two-year rates from lowest to highest.
