A Fixed Rate Cliff is Looming for Fixed Rate Mortgages.
14 August 2023, Gold Coast Real Estate News & Articles – Craig Douglas, Gold Coast Independent Real Estate Agent 0418 189 963
A large number of fixed-rate mortgages were taken out during the COVID-19 pandemic. This poses a risk to borrowers who may find it difficult to afford higher variable rates, as their fixed rate periods come to an end.
The risk of arrears and defaults remains contained, however, there are some signs that the housing market is slowing. New listings rose in July, which may reflect more motivated sales by homeowners struggling to afford their mortgages.
Overall, housing market conditions are likely to deteriorate somewhat as more borrowers are exposed to higher interest rates. However, the good news is that this period of economic slowdown will also bring the Reserve Bank of Australia closer to its long-term inflation target, which could lead to a rate cut in 2024.
In summary:
– The fixed-rate cliff is a risk for borrowers who may struggle to afford higher variable rates.
– Official data suggest that the risk of arrears and defaults remains contained.
– Housing metrics are showing some weakness after a rebound in the first half of the year.
– New listings rose in July, which may reflect more motivated sales by homeowners struggling to afford their mortgages.
– Housing market conditions are likely to deteriorate somewhat as more borrowers are exposed to higher interest rates.
– The good news is that this period of economic slowdown is likely to bring the Reserve Bank of Australia closer to its long-term inflation target, which could lead to a cut in interest rates in 2024.
