The flow on effects of previous rises might take a bit longer to be fully seen, but I daresay they are going to do another rise or two before the year is out. It does also depend on the situation around the world to some degree as well.
Yeah I literally got my monthly letter from the bank today letting me know my eye watering monthly repayment for my modest suburban house is going up another $200 a month.
So, yay for paused interest rates but they could have at least let me enjoy it for a day or two.
My primary residence mortgage is fixed until the end of the year, so I’m not looking forward to seeing how much the repayment jumps. It’ll be going from 1.9% to ~6% most likely :(
Yep, good luck. Expect thousands (plural). You must have locked in the fixed term at the perfect time.
It would be sensible to pull up a chart of the historical interest rates and expect the real possibility that interest rates could remain around the 5% range for 10-20 years, as they did in the 1990s and 2000s when inflation was in the 2-3% target range.
https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/interest-rateAlready got a message from NAB yesterday that our mortgage repayments are going up yet again, so unless they’re backtracking on that after today’s decision, I feel like many people are in fact not breathing a sigh of relief.
Some banks aren’t passing on rate rises immediately; it could be that NAB is incorporating a previous cash rate rise into your new interest rate.
And yet today my landlord has told me that they are raising my rent 20%
