Show Notes

It's hard to believe that during the Covid crisis, nearly half of all mortgages were being 'fixed' - today the level is less than 5 per cent. With economists calling the end of the cutting cycle for the RBA, early movers could gain a serious competitive advantage if they fix their borrowing costs in the months ahead.

Sally Tindall, data insights director at Canstar joins Associate Editor - Wealth, James Kirby in this episode.


In today's show, we cover:

  • Back from the dead: Fixed rates return to centre stage
  • Why we may already be looking at the bottom for bank mortgage rates
  • 'Split mortgages'- a bet both ways? 
  • The outlook for deposit rates
