Variable home loans at record levels!
Posted on | May 28, 2009 |
Home buyers are flocking back to variable rate mortgages which now account for 91% of the residential lending market, their highest proportion in four months.
Mortgage broker Mortgage Choice reported in April, basic variable mortgages accounted for 48.15 per cent of all home loans approved - up nearly one per cent from March, while standard variable mortgages comprised 42.77 per cent of the market, down 1.47 per cent from March.
Basic variable loans generally have fewer loan features than a standard variable loan.
Fixed rate loans accounted for four per cent of all approvals up a percentage point from a month earlier.
Basic variable loans have been the most popular loan type for four months after overtaking standard variable for the first time in January 2009!
Rates charged on variable home loans move in line with interest rates as set by the Reserve Bank of Australia (which has successively cut its overnight cash rate since September last year to a 49-year low.
And despite interest rates being at their lowest in decades, the volatile global and domestic economic climate is having a strong influence over loan product preferences.
Consumer conservatism with rates and fees continues to win out against loan flexibility and extra features.
Line of credit loans in April, popular with property investors, posted a fall of five per cent from the previous month.
Commitments for owner-occupied housing rose 4.9 per cent in March, seasonally adjusted, to 59,793, Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed this month.
Total housing finance by value rose by 6.7 per cent in March, seasonally adjusted, to $20.688 billion, the latest month in which data was available.
