Understanding current CBA home loan rates and offers

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) offers a wide range of home loans with rates that change alongside the RBA cash rate, market competition and internal lending policies. It’s important to understand the difference between the advertised rate and the comparison rate, which includes most fees and reflects the true cost. CBA rate types:

  • Variable rates: Move with the market, often start lower but can rise.

  • Fixed rates: Locked for 1–5 years, offering repayment certainty.

  • Special offers: Limited-time deals like cashback or discounted rates, often for refinancers or borrowers with strong equity.

Knowing which rate you actually qualify for is key. HeyNest brokers access CBA’s latest figures, compare them with other lenders, and ensure you don’t settle for a subpar offer.

How to secure a better CBA rate

CBA’s published rates are negotiable, strong borrowers can often secure lower pricing. Even small discounts can save thousands over the loan’s life. To improve your rate:

  • Boost your credit score: Demonstrate low risk.

  • Increase your deposit/equity: Lower LVR = better leverage.

  • Bundle products: Move other accounts to CBA for loyalty perks.

  • Use a broker: Brokers on HeyNest know CBA’s pricing matrix and negotiate directly, often securing rates unavailable to walk-in customers.

Frequently asked questions

Are CBA home loan rates negotiable?

Yes, absolutely. Rates are often negotiable, especially if you have a strong financial profile and use an independent mortgage broker to negotiate on your behalf.

How long does the refinance process take with a broker?

Rates change daily. The 'best' rate depends entirely on your specific LVR, loan amount, repayment type and whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor.

Should I choose a fixed or variable CBA home loan rate?

It depends on your risk tolerance. Fixed rates offer payment certainty, while variable rates may allow you to benefit if the RBA cash rate falls. Consult a broker for personalised advice.
