Why fixed rates appeal to Australian homebuyers?

Fixed-rate home loans offer stability and peace of mind. Locking in a rate, often for five years, means predictable repayments and protection from rate hikes by the RBA. Why Australians fix their rate:

  • Certainty: Consistent repayments simplify budgeting.

  • Protection: Safeguards against rising interest rates.

  • Confidence: Eliminates repayment surprises.

A HeyNest broker compares fixed-rate offers across major and regional lenders to help you secure the most competitive 5-year rate for your goals.

Frequently asked questions

Can I break a 5-year fixed home loan early?

Yes, but be aware of substantial break fees (economic costs) which can be very high, making early termination costly.

What happens when the 5-year fixed period ends?

Your loan will typically revert to the lender's standard variable rate unless you actively refinance or choose a new fixed rate term.

Are interest-only loans available with a 5-year fixed rate?

Some lenders offer this, but it is less common for owner-occupiers and often comes with a higher interest rate compared to principal & interest loans.
