Current Australian home loan interest rate trends
Mortgage rates in Australia are shifting with RBA cash rate changes and lender competition, making comparisons more important than ever.
Variable rates: Move with the RBA’s decisions, flexible but can rise suddenly.
Fixed rates: Locked for 1-5 years, offering repayment certainty.
Split loans: Combine both for balance and flexibility.
Advertised rates rarely reflect what you qualify for. Factors like your LVR, deposit and financial profile determine your real rate, another reason expert broker advice is essential.

How to secure a lower home loan interest rate
Many borrowers accept their bank’s offer and miss out on big savings. With a smart strategy, you can negotiate a better deal. Proven tips:
Strengthen your profile: Pay down debts and maintain good credit.
Boost your deposit: Keep your LVR under 80% to avoid LMI and get lower rates.
Compare widely: Look beyond the big four to smaller banks and lenders.
Use a broker: They access lender rate sheets, negotiate directly, and secure discounts not available to the public.
HeyNest connects you with experts who handle this process, helping you achieve a more competitive rate with ease.
