Fifteen Australian lenders have reduced variable rates since the beginning of April, in addition to the February cash cut, as the mortgage competition increases before the RBA meeting next week.

The lowest variable rate is currently 5.59 percent, while Canstar.com.au shows that there are 35 lenders who offer at least one variable rate below 5.75 percent.

At the RBA Board meeting on Tuesday, Canstar predicts that more than 30 lenders could offer at least one variable rate announced below 5.50 percent.

Meanwhile, the lowest variable rate could fall below 5.40 percent, while the new average variable of the existing owner owner could fall to 5.81 percent.

According to Canstar, at least 30 lenders have also reduced the fixed rates of mortgage loans since April, including Anz, Nab and Macquarie Bank.

As a result, there are now fixed term rates that begin with an ‘4’, with the Queensland Bank and the police bank offer selected fixed rates below 5 percent.

The director of Data Insights of Canstar.com.au, Sally Tindall, said that the Australian mortgage market was full of healthy competition.

“If there is a reduction in the cash rate in May, we hope that competition in the market will increase more as the borrowers control their new rate and compare it ideally with the rest of the pack,” he said.

“If the cash rate falls to 3.85 percent, the average-oxcupier owner could see that its variable rate falls below 6 percent, however, borrowers can do it much better than this. We hope there are more 5.50 per center.

“All these changes in rates are great news for Australians with variable mortgage loans, but only if they take advantage of competition.

“While the permanent majority of the banks must transmit the next cash rate cut in its entirety to their existing variable clients, the reductions that we have seen outside the RBA decisions are generally reserved for new businesses or those that are previously blocked.

“The borrowers are the next few days to take stock of their interest rate and determine where it is in the package before a potential cash rate, and if necessary, pick up the phone and dribble with your bank for a rather.”

All four large banks forecast a reduction in cash on Tuesday, and NAB expects a double cut at an cash rate or 3.60 percent.

Anz has also updated its cash prognosis, cutting next Tuesday, saying that the measure is “more likely.”

A total of three RBA cuts will arrive, however, the time of the next two cuts to August has changed and then the first quarter of 2026 (previously was July and August).

For an owner-colupant with a debt of $ 600,000 and 25 years, stirring the loan, a percentage RBA cut of 0.25 could see the monthly payments in $ 91, assuming that the banks pass it completely to the existing variable borrowers.
