What moved this week

Every advertised home loan rate is read each morning. A move is a rate that came back different from the morning before. The last 7 mornings.

Rates checked Monday 2 November at 7:01 am (Sydney time) ยท browse all the data

Since Monday 26 October, 18 lenders moved 289 advertised rates: 64 down and 225 up. The typical move was 0.25 points. 789 new rate lines appeared.

A week with no move is not a fault in the reading, and a week with many is not a fault in the lenders. Every move since the capture began is in the change log, and there is a feed of it.

Who moved

A rate line is one advertised rate: one product, one loan type, one band. A lender that reprices one loan across five bands moves five lines.

One row per loan, at its largest move. Down is a lower advertised rate for a new customer. Whether an existing customer's rate followed is not in this data.

How this is worked out, and what it does not tell you

How it is worked out

  1. Rates come from each lender's own feed under the Consumer Data Right, read each morning. Nobody types one in.
  2. A rate counts only if anyone could take it. Loans for particular groups, and lenders the capture cannot reach, are left out.
  3. Each loan counts once per profile, at its lowest advertised rate.
  4. A move is counted where a rate line came back at least 0.01 points different from its previous reading. A line appearing for the first time is a new line, not a move.

What it does not tell you

The data is free to download, so any figure here can be checked.

Free, and not advice. It knows only what the lender publishes, not what you could negotiate. A licensed broker does this for a living. Who made this. What this site collects.

Building something with this? There is an API, and the data is free.

This morning: the market, variable rates, fixed rates and what moved this week.

Found in the data: what lenders charge above 80%, the rate a fixed loan rolls onto and what a comparison rate adds. Also what an offset costs, and what investors pay on top.
