High CPI prompts further interest rate increases!
Home loan rate report released for October.
Summary Below:
- Fixed-term mortgage rates have risen significantly since early 2021 and, despite the recent dip in some fixed-term mortgage rates, we predict more increases over the rest of the year
- We think it is prudent for borrowers to budget on mortgage interest rates being higher than they are now over the coming years
- We expect most fixed-term mortgage interest rates will peak within a 7-7.5% range over the year ahead. Floating rates could peak around 9%. However, as is often the case, the outlook is far from certain
