Mortgage rate competition heats up, expected to drop below 5% by Christmas

Interest rates news 2024

New Zealand’s banks are entering a competitive “war” over home loan rates, with mortgage brokers predicting that rates could drop below 5% before Christmas.

ANZ’s secret 5.65% rate and TSB’s advertised 5.99% have set the stage for further reductions, with rates already falling from over 7% last November to around 5.8% in September.

As competition intensifies, experts believe that one-year and three-year fixed rates could drop further. However, the drop in mortgage rates has also led to a decrease in savings and term deposit rates, reflecting the shifting economic environment.
