Top lenders unveil ultra low new home loan rates
In positive news for home borrowers, some of Australia’s top mortgage lenders are slashing home loan rates to new lows in a bid to entice home buyers and growing numbers of bargain-hunting refinancers keen to secure a better deal on their mortgage as protection against future Reserve Bank rate rises.
Macquarie, 86 400 and Nano are just a few of the rival lenders to release new ultra low rates in recent months. Macquarie has cut variable rates by 15 basis points, while Nano has launched a refinance home loan with a sub 2% variable rate and what it claims to be the world's fastest approval times.
Not to be left out, popular online lenders have also been wielding the scissors. 86 400 has a jaw-dropping new variable rate below 1.90% for borrowers with 60% LVR and Loans.com.au has been making waves with headline variable rates starting with a '1'.
With the average variable home loan rate sitting at 3.05%, there are now huge savings to be gained by shopping around. Start by comparing some of the top new rates on the market below….
