Interest rates are based on a $400,000 loan for a $500,000 property. The cheapest home loan won’t always be the best home loan for each borrower.
Interest rates may have further to fall
Whether to fix or go variable could be one of the biggest questions borrowers face when they compare home loans.
If you fix and variable rates go up, you feel like a winner; but if you fix and variable rates go down, you may feel you’ve lost money.
No one knows for sure whether the next move in official interest rates will be up or down, but the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has hinted that it is considering a rate cut.
At the RBA’s most recent monthly meeting, on August 6, the board decided not to change official interest rates, after cutting rates at the June and July meetings. However, the minutes from the meeting revealed that board members “would consider a further easing” of official interest rates if it would help the economy.
