Rate hike shock hits 1 in 2 borrowers
04 Jun 2018
Has your budget been feeling a little tighter than usual lately? It’s no surprise, considering Mozo data reveals that 43 lenders have hiked variable rates for home loan customers since August 2016.
“1 in 2 Aussie borrowers have been stung by out-of-cycle rate rises since the last RBA rate change in 2016, according to a Mozo survey,” said Mozo Director Kirsty Lamont.
Despite this, 8 in 10 borrowers haven’t even thought about switching to a better deal - a decision that could be costing them tens thousands of dollars. By switching from 4.00% variable rate to a 3.70% rate, borrowers could shave $17,245 off a $350,000 mortgage over 25 years.
“There’s no reason for Aussies to be overpaying on their mortgage, since half of the lenders in Mozo’s database now offer a rate under 3.70% to new customers. So if you’re paying too much, today could be the day to switch,” said Lamont.
