Marty
Any news on commercial rates

 

I don t really follow that market.

 

Now if only Macq would 1) lower their rates and 2) apply the new lower rate for existing customers!

They raised me to 4.69% thanks to apra, but then lowered their advertised rate to 4.54% which they refuse to give me even after I called and asked nicely.

 

Talk to your broker about it.

Macquarie are still a little wierd at the moment. For some clients they've been trying to encourage us to move them elsewhere, for others there willing to bend over backwards. What they'll do really depends on how they view your risk profile.

 

Yay, monthly cost savings to make properties easier to hold onto

 

And one of the reasons..why I avoud MGL at all costs....they are unreliable at bet...look at what they did with their lending armp ost the GFC...

 

Yay the one I have with NAB will come down to 4.8. With negotiation 4.5% maybe.

 

Question. I have a loan loan with CBA after this cut will bring it into 3.99%.

Within the next fortnight (given rates not moving again) I will be applying for my construction loan. Can I assume when they top up my loan I will be given the same rate?

 

Any info on Adelaide Bank?

 

or choicelend :/

 

Choicelend follows NAB iirc

 

You can't assume anything. Get your broker to apply for new pricing and you may get even better rate with new lending.

 

Loans.com.au is passing on full 0.25%.

 

The CBA aren't quite as generous today as they were a few months ago.

NAB Broker are currently pricing 80% investment loans around 4.5% before the rate cut. Aim for about 4.3%.

Reasonably certain they're passing on 0.25%.

Definitely passing on 0.25%.

 

thanks for sharing
I was not expecting any of the banks to pass these on.

My lowest IR now is with AMP at 3.92%, makes me want to go out and buy property again, money is so cheap at the moment....wow

 

Down 25 bps my friend

 

Election time RBA cut.... I think if it had been after the election we may not have seen the banks being so obliging. This may have been a "you better pass it on or face a royal commission.... " kind of message from Malcolm and Scott. Shorten would likely have really turned the screws on them during the campaign if the banks had failed to come to the party. It would have really put pressure on the coalition to agree to a royal commission into banking.

Don't worry, they're playing the long game, not the short game... they will take their pound of flesh back on I/O lending in 2017, as they go through more capital raising for BASEL IV. The margin between the cash rate and the retail rate ( rate to borrower) will widen further - for interest only especially .... but only by 30-40bpts, so this cut ( and the next if we have one) will soften the impact to nil effectively.

That all being said...P&I will see huge benefits and is still where the cracking deals can be had, and this is exactly what I eluded to a few months back when I said that if you approaching the end of your I/O terms and are forced to move to P&I because you dont re-qualify for what you have already, the RBA cuts will be the thing that saves your bacon. P&I in the mid 3%'s ( which is where we appear to be heading) is going to be manageable for most

The RBA cuts will go a long way to saving the property markets from the "I cant get an extension to my I/O " cliff that several here had been worried about ....

 

very interesting

also can de very difficult to finance when markets start to fall and valuations come in short

 

Anyone know did Macquarie cut the full. 25 for investors or not announced yet?
