The Australian property market’s current run has fuelled a fresh round of FOMO. So much so that for many Australians, buying a home has become a more pressing goal than tying the knot.
House prices have continued their meteoric rise in Australia, in particular around capital cities where the median house price has hit a record $1.066 million.
Fixed rate home loans surged in popularity in 2021 as Aussie borrowers raced to lock in at record low rates. While many lenders have already started pushing fixed rates up from last year’s record lows, there are still a handful of incredibly low fixed rate deals on the market right now for borrowers who are prepared to act fast.The Reserve Bank convenes its first meeting of the new year in early February, and while the official interest rate isn’t expected to rise immediately, there are growing predictions from the nation’s economists that it might rise as soon as late 2022.For borrowers who haven’t yet locked in and like the idea of doing so to provide peace of mind against future rate rises, the Mozo Editors have rounded up some of the top fixed rate home loans currently on the market under 2.00%. But be quick, as these super low deals won’t last for much longer….
We know finding the best value home loan can be a hard slog.

It can be overwhelming looking at home loans. Tools like our home loan calculator or comparison hub can be very good starting points to give you key numbers, though there’s still more you can do.

In the last two years, the Australian property market has defied expectations. The market’s value recently broke the $9.1 trillion mark in September with the prospect of continual growth into 2022.
Despite sky-high prices, enthusiasm for investment properties appears to be continuing to grow, with investors taking out new loans at near-record levels in order to get into the market.
