Westpac continued to adjust its fixed rates, rolling out another set of rate hikes — the third time this year.
PropTrack economist Paul Ryan said rates, especially for fixed home loans, are likely to continue to increase regardless of the moves of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA).
“Expect this trend to continue slowly throughout the year - with larger increases in the amount borrowers have to pay once the RBA moves the cash rate up,” he said.
“Increases in interest rates have been driven by fixed rate repricing while variable rates are still falling — this trend looks like reversing one of the more unusual features of the COVID-19 mortgage market: the prevalence of fixed rates.”
Here are the latest changes in the fixed rates of Westpac and other lenders over the past week:
