What fixed rate should I choose?

When it comes to the end of your fixed rate period, or you are just taking out a new loan, the common question is: Which new fixed term should I take?

This is certainly a difficult question and there are many right answers.

It is important to look at the purpose of the loan, the likely term you need it for, and the actual repayment amounts in relation to your household budget. At Taupo Home Loans we will help you look at the fixed term options and let you choose the one that suits you best.

Positive Market News

"The only interesting data releases this week appeared last Friday when we saw confirmation that house prices are rising again in New Zealand and that retail spending is growing again. The numbers certainly don’t indicate that strong growth lies just ahead with booming house prices. But we have easily passed the worst point for the economy and should expect to see a continuation of the trends we have been writing about since March. Namely – slowly rising fixed interest rates and good support for the NZ dollar along with a housing market recovery that soon will see more activity for builders." said Tony Alexander, Chief Economist, BNZ.
