Mortgage Rates Drop Below 5%

Financial Adviser, Director from adviceHQ

For the first time since August 2022, a major bank has cut a mortgage rate below 5%! Westpac has dropped its 3yr special fixed home loan rate to 4.99%, alongside reductions for other fixed terms.

What does this mean for you?
✅ Refixing Soon? Now is a great time to review your options — locking in a lower rate could mean big savings.

✅ Buying a Home? Lower rates improve affordability, so it's worth reassessing your budget and options.
✅ Refinancing? If your rate is significantly higher, switching lenders might save you thousands.

This is a competitive move that could signal further rate drops ahead. If you’re wondering whether to act now or wait, let’s chat about your mortgage strategy. A quick review today could put you in a stronger position for 2025 and beyond.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
