These super low fixed home loan rates won’t last for much longer
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….
