The Reserve Bank of Australia recently left interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive month. At the August 5 meeting the RBA left rates at 7.25% - a 12-year high. With the commercial banks increasing home-loan interest rates above the official rate, many home owners are finding their mortgage repayments have increased considerably over the past few months.
It is widely tipped that the RBA will cut official interest rates by up to half a percentage point when it meets again later this month. And while most banks are not saying whether they will pass on the rate cuts to home loan borrowers, many economists are predicting that home-loan interest rates will eventually fall by the end of the year. Some of the major banks have recently cut their fixed interest rate loans by half a percentage point, and many people now believe that interest rates on all home loans will fall soon.
