Even a few months ago, most borrowers thought the next move in interest rates was likely to be up and therefore fixing for as long as possible made sense.
So the June 11 decision by the Reserve Bank to cut the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 3.25% and signal another cut has certainly taken a few by surprise. Floating mortgage rates were cut by the same amount and shorter term fixed mortgage rates have fallen as much as 50 basis points over the last six weeks.
Also, over May the Reserve Bank and the Government launched a pincer movement to try to slow house price inflation in the Auckland market, which Finance Minister Bill English has described as a "feeding frenzy."
The Government will introduce a "bright line" test from October 1 that will assume that anyone selling an investment property within two years of buying it is doing so as a trader and therefore must pay income tax on any capital gains made over that period. The Reserve Bank has also announced it will restrict Auckland rental property investors to no more than a 70% loan to value (LVR) ratio from October 1.
OCR 下降,应选固定利率还是浮动利率?
从5月中旬公布的数据来看,奥克兰房地产市场在四月和五月的销量上升到创纪录的水平,中等价位房产也创下了最高的记录。奥克兰房价通胀年增长率达到15-20%,而其他地方房价的通胀率接近5%,或者更低。
6月11日央行下调官方现金利率至3.25%,随之而来的就是浮动利率也下调了0.25%。同时短期固定利率在过去六周最高下降了0.5%。政府将从10月1日推出“Bright line”的政策,简单来说,这个政策就是投资者在购房两年内出售投资房必须缴纳资本利的所得税。央行还宣布从10月1号开始,将限制奥克兰的投资者。也就是说如果购买出租房,那么 贷款总额不得超过70%的房价。
随着这些政策的变化,很多贷款购房者在如何选择贷款的问题上心存疑虑,比如说选择什么样的贷款方式比较好?
Bernard Hickey认为,利率在未来几年都会保持在一个较低水平,并且它会持续很长时间。而且利率甚至还有下降的可能性。因此,在这段期间内最佳的选择是短期固定利率。
一般说来浮动利率弹性较大,利率下跌时可享受低息带来的好处,如果市场利率趋于逐步下行,选择浮动利率可随市场利率下调。此外,贷款人可随时还款以减少贷款的本金而不会受到特别限制。在有些情况下选择固定利率也有有利的一面,有些购房者不想太费心事,选择一年或两年期固定利率,这种利率不跟随市场涨跌,更好做个人预算。
但是从另一个角度来说,选择长期的固定利率也不是最好的决定。例如,10年固定利率为5.95%, 这个利息在贷款开始几年都比较稳定那还好,万一之后平均贷款利率迅速从7.4%下滑到4-5%?试想一下10年的房贷贷款违约金,那将不是一个小数目。 所以,现在选择短期固定利率是最明智的选择。
TFS温馨提醒大家,尽管固定利率已经大幅下降,你仍然可以在买房的时候依然可以通过贷款经纪人同银行“砍价“,获取比广告上更低的利率,现在借款人甚至可以尝试将1-2年期的固定利率砍到5%以下。但是这种大幅度的砍价是要满足一定的贷款条件的。至于利息应该锁定多长时间,取决于贷款人的个人状况以及他是否有固定预算,或是否关注汇率的周期性变化。比如你未来一年有可能迁居海外,就不要锁定2年或2年以上的利率,以免银行到时收取额外利息违约费用。
