NZ Mortgage Rates Will Stay Low for 2010

Finally everyone is starting to get it. Mortgage rates are going nowhere fast, so there is great value in sticking with floating and short-term fixed rates
The next six to 12 months could be interesting. A large number of Kiwis have opted for short-term rates, but the sense I get is that they are sitting there waiting to lock into a fixed rate
‘The credit crisis’ or ‘funding costs’ are not good explanations of ongoing increasing bank margins. Margins are increasing because they can.
