NAB increases fixed home loan rates by up to 60 bp

A gold chrome model house sitting on a digital graph illustrating rate hikes in the home loan market.

NAB has become the latest Big Four Bank to raise fixed rates for home loans, joining ANZ, Westpac, and CommBank in the continuing saga of the April rate-hike scramble. 

These latest changes apply to its owner-occupier P&I loans, with 50 basis point increases to 2, 3, and 5-year terms and a whopping 60 bp jump on 4-year terms. There have been no changes made to 1-year terms on the same product.

These rising fixed rates signal mounting anticipation over an impending rise in the official RBA cash rate, which economists at all four major banks predict will move as early as June. 

As a result, the overwhelming majority of fixed rates under 2% p.a. have disappeared from the market entirely.

The table below shows the new fixed rates on the NAB Tailored Home Loan (Fixed) for owner-occupiers making P&I repayments.

NAB Tailored Home Loan (Fixed) (P&I) - 22 April 2022

Term Change Current Rate
1-year
0 bp
3.09% p.a. (4.52% p.a. comparison rate*)
2-year 50 bp 4.09% p.a. (4.57% p.a. comparison rate*)
3-year 50 bp 4.59% p.a. (4.67% p.a. comparison rate*)
4-year 50 bp 4.89% p.a. (4.78% p.a. comparison rate*)
5-year 60 bp 5.09% p.a. (4.89% p.a. comparison rate*)

These new rates now represent NAB’s cheapest basic fixed home loan option.

Comparing their lowest rates with the other Big Four, we can get an idea about how NAB’s changes reshuffle the pecking order.

Big Four fixed rate home loans comparison (OO, P&I) - 22 April 2022

Bank Lowest 2-year rate Lowest 5-year rate
CommBank
3.94% p.a. (4.59% p.a. comparison rate*)
4.64% p.a. (4.74% p.a. comparison rate*)
Westpac 3.99% p.a. (4.61% p.a. comparison rate*) 4.89% p.a. (4.85% p.a. comparison rate*)
ANZ 4.04% p.a. (3.34% p.a. comparison rate*) 4.94% p.a. (3.80% p.a. comparison rate*)
NAB 4.09% p.a. (4.57% p.a. comparison rate*) 5.09% p.a. (4.89% p.a. comparison rate*)

Each of the Big Four banks have escalated their fixed rates in the past three weeks alone. The changes further push interest rates back to pre-pandemic levels and beyond, at a time when soaring house prices and costs of living continue to squeeze consumer wallets.

More than ever, keeping a finger on the pulse of the property market will give first home buyers a much needed advantage.
