Home loan rates are hitting jaw dropping new lows as Australia's challenger lenders waste no time in passing through the Reserve Bank's second rate cut in as many months.

Homestar is leading the field, becoming the first lender in the Mozo comparison database to drop its variable home loan rate below 3.00%, while new online lender Athena has also passed on the full 25 basis point cut.

With so much competition driving amazing deals for borrowers one thing is for sure, if you're not out there comparing your current loan against the new crop of ultra low rate loans on the market now, you could be missing out on some serious savings.
