ANZ has changed two short-term fixed mortgage rates.
This follows yesterday's announcement from Kiwibank withdrawing their 6 month fixed "pre-Christmas special.
On Saturday morning, ANZ removed their 4.95% "special <80% LVR" for fixed terms of both six months and one year.
In their place, they have new 5.25% Standard rates - for six months this is a reduction of 35 bps from 5.60%, and for the one year fixed term this is a reduction of 20 bps from 5.45%.
All other ANZ mortgage rates are unchanged at this time.
Only Westpac currently has a "special" offer for the six month and one year term, which is 4.95% where the LVR is 80% or less.

| ASB | 5.45% |
| BNZ | 5.25% |
| Kiwibank | 5.25% |

Other banks have these offers for the same term:

A borrower's ability to negotiate lower rates will depend on the strength of their financial situation and their overall relationship with their bank.

Sunday breakfast thinking!....why so many are about to lose so much that was earning so little ...
Mark Kiesel, portfolio manager at Pimco says: “If you think central banks will be successful in reflating, you do not want to own long maturity fixed-rate bonds.
“We are in a very unique time with central banks suppressing volatility and interest rates. You want to take less duration and have less interest rate risk and look for growth opportunities that will outperform over time.”
